TL;DR: I need software that will recover a lost exFAT partition
I had a BSOD that cause my exFAT drive (it's an internal 1TB) to become read only. I tried chkdsk but it said it couldn't unmount it to complete the fix. I found a link explaining how to fix it in Diskpart. Long story short, I erroneously used the CLEAN command and my partition went bye-bye.
I tried using a gParted Live CD but after scanning for a while it said it couldn't find anything. I tried a demo of a program called Recover My Files and it seemed to find the files (so I know something is still there) but there's something that makes me feel uneasy about the program. Uneasy enough to not want to shell out $70 for it.
Any tips in how I could remedy this would be appreciated.
