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 |

Been down this road too many time with other peoples stuff. Its not a warm and fuzzy place ;-)
Its hardware. No ammount of special SOFTWARE readers may be able to recover the data. The most common failure of these drive is the controller board. Not the one on the motherboard but the one on the drive. PROCEDURE. Ground yourself. Unplug, yada yada yada Open the case and peel off parts till you have the drive in your hand. From an IDENTICAL hard drive (same part number, even the revision number) swap the controller card with a tiny torx driver. Fry's has em. Reasemble and mount the drive. After recovering the data move the controller board back to the good drive and use that as your production drive. Cost: One hard drive you needed anyway. Odds: 7 out a 10 work fine this way. Let me know if ya need a better walk through. -Rich Hilgersom |
