Hello,
I was wondering if anyone on forum has experience with data recovery from an HFS+ drive. I purchased Diskwarrior, and was not able to recover the drive. The data is important, but not $600+ important to me right now. I have recording studio audio files I would like to recover and negative scans from a lot of photographs. I still have the negs, so I can re-scan, but it was a lot of hours scanning and cleaning up the files. This was my backup drive that I copied important files to.. . when my main computer drive blew up, I thought I had this backup. The studio has not had any work in over a year while I'm under construction so I this isn't mission-critical stuff with paying clients, just personal projects. -'Chung |

When diskwarrior was trying to rebuild the directories or something it said, "progress slowed by hardware problem" or something like that, and I let it try for a couple hours without progress and had to force quit diskwarrior. . .
The drive was connected and disconnected only when the machine was powered off. So, diskwarrior can't complete the scan. Now, when I try to mount he drive, it says this drive contains no volumes os x can read. From what I hear, diskwarrior is supposed to be good so I don't see it as a bad investment. . .oh well, I'll just keep the drive on the shelf powered off. . .until I find someone who can take a lookie-loo or until I can afford to pay for big-dog data-recovery guys. Probably when I hit mid-life crisis (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Or, 'til I can get some more monies together and buy spin-rite and try again. -'Chung |
