The software you're thinking of is called Testdisk. I'm not sure but it might be on that UBCD you booted.

So I have my sisters PC here and the partition cannot be viewed and of course the PC will not boot, just DSODs right away. It looks like I will need some software to be able to recover whatever files I can from this drive. I used a software in the past and for the life of me I can't remember what it was called but it was free and it worked. Any recommondations?
