Hi .. can someone direct me to a hard drive data recovery tool that's free .I've had a hard drive failure and windows won't boot .. I've tried the free version of minitools but it won't let me save the 1GB of documents that I need to recover.

Thanks in advance.

recuva is fine for deleted files, but doesn't really help with Data Recovery from a failed HDD. The only totally free Data Recovery software is TestDisk.
I have also had the best luck with GetDataBack. You will need another drive of the same size or larger to restore your files to.
You can also create a bootable Ubuntu CD and boot off of that to copy your files off of the drive.
