Gidday Bill, if Mr Hard Drive is making the Death Rattle then chances
are you won't be able to recover anything from it with software. The
Death rattle usually means that the step motor drive part of the hard
drive is cactus and the only way to recover data is to send it to a firm
who can do this.
Jim mentioned the fact that they were not all that expensive...lucky you
blokes !!! here in Oz we have them sent away occasionally and the last
one cost about $1400, albeit price of hard drive with data copied to it
included.
We have all the recovery software, Hiren and diskloads of other
specialised stuff too but if you can't ACCESS the drive then you can't
recover nuttin.
