OK so awhile back I recall someone offering data recovery services. I have a hard drive that failed and I need to get atleast the digital pics off of. It's a Maxtor DIAMONDMax Plus 9 120GB drive, it sounds like it spins up then beep click does it again. My bios does see it all though it sees it as a 2GB drive now. I'd rather give someone here some business then send it off to a bunny suit lab.
My best, Mike D. |

If you have a friend with Linux skills and the drive still spins. You might try:
(1) downloading a copy of Knoppix (2) make sure your new drive has enough space (3) attached your bad drive as a slave (4) use dd to read your bad drive to a disk image on your new drive dd performs a low level copy, reading your disk byte for byte. Make sure you use the noerror option so it skip over bytes it cannot read instead of stopping. (5) mount the disk image (6) copy files from the disk image to your new drive. I have used the above procedure with 2 bad HD's and it works but takes a long time (hours). Dan |
