In another friendly list, the Power Macintosh G4 List, there was a recent discussion that mentioned "Disk Rescue" twice. Here's part of that thread below my signature. I know nothing more about it.

Good luck! -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, self-defense is for the rest of us. *************************** Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2001 00:47:39 +0800 From: James Kunz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [G4] Favorite drive utilities? to retrieve lost data, i had a go with "data rescue" and it was the only program which could "open" my harddisk and read/copy the file to another. it does not write back to the damaged hd! but you need a second drive with same or more capacity for the rescue/copy procedure harddisk toolkit, tech tool & disk warrior failed to "see" & mount the drive data rescue does work without mounting the volume!!!
