I haven't had a chance to image the drive yet... but I will take a closer look at GetDataBack since it appears that the bad sectors may be affecting part of the MFT. I tried PhotoRec on a *good* drive (ext3 formatted) and it seemed to pick up image and archive files really well...for everything else though...it was very fragmented and broken up into hundreds of text files. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
