Best tools for hard drive recovery

In the midst of other activities around my hard drives, I realized one of my old backup drives has suffered some damage. Not all of the files are readable. I have more recent backups, so there's nothing catasrophic here, but before I jettison this drive I'd like to get off of it what i can. I ha

A capability in the IMAP protocol.

Debian might well work for your purposes as it's relatively easy to set up and has a huge software repository; but your problem appears to be memory. If your CAD software was sluggish even when you were running Windows 7 directly, it's not going to be better when you're running Windows in a VM
