OK, I checked with Steve Costa, and this is what he says:  Norton does very
good data recovery, but he's seen 10 - 15 % problems with disk repair.  

For example, we were repairing a 160MB hard disk, and superclock beeped.
After that, all the folders on the disk appeared, but wouldn't open, and 
the data was gone.  Even Steve couldn't recover it.  

These problems were reported to Norton before shipping, and tested on the
shipping version.
