Re: [OT} (slightly) Anyone knows an affordable HD recovery service?

[Pierre Sahores]

To avoid such troubles in the future, i have transfered all my old HD devices 
contents to TimeMachine controlled drives, even the win32 ones...

Kind regards,

Pierre

Thanks for all the head ups, both on and off list! Much appreciated.  
Turns out it is a hardware failure that can not be recovered via  
Software. Will need to bite the sour apple and get the Disk to a  
professional recovery service. *sigh*


All the best,

Re: [OT} (slightly) Anyone knows an affordable HD recovery service?

I've had good luck with Prosoft's 'Data Rescue' program, on disks 
that even Disk Warrior could not fix. "Data Rescue" does not 
attempt to fix the drive, just scans it and copies off anything 
it can salvage to another drive. Takes hours, but recovered a lot 
of stuff for me.




Good luck!

I'm always finding new ways to use target disk mode.

Re: [OT} (slightly) Anyone knows an affordable HD recovery service?

[Bob Sneidar]

Well I am getting in on this late, but it all depends on whether or not you can 
get the drive to show up at all in Disk Utility. You should have the installer 
disks that came with your Mac, so if you don't have another bootable OS X 
volume you can use that. 

Now the question is, does the Mac see a partition? If the disk does not show up 
at all in Disk Utility, or if Disk Utility cannot see a partition, then I do 
not think that Diskwarrior can recover that. I do not think any software can 
recover the drive if the actual drive itself is not visible to the hardware. 

So now you are looking at either a clean room disassembly and recovery, which 
can be dicey especially in the case of a head crash, or else you may find 
someone who can replace the controller on the drive (if that is the problem) at 
which point the data should be fully recoverable, assuming no physical damage 
has been done. 

You may be able to send the drive into the manufacturer and for a fee get them 
to replace the controller. I am not sure if all the manufacturers will do this 
for you, but I know a few of them will. Just specify that you do NOT want the 
data erased. They may even do a recovery for you. 

So it just depends on what is wrong. If the drive has to be disassembled in a 
clean room, you are likely to have to lose limbs if you want your data back. 
Otherwise, there are some options that are fairly economical.

Malte,

ill second diskwarrior, its worth the $100, been a champ for me over  
the years when drives have gone bad. just got a portable disc  
resurrected that had gone south. worth spending the money as the time  
it saves dinking around.

It's just long to do the work 3 or 4 hours for 300 Go or so. Price

If you disk is dodgy but not completely stuffed you might have some success
connecting it to another Mac in Firewire target disk mode or by starting it
up from the install DVD, firing up the terminal and using ditto to copy
stuff across to an external hard drive. I managed to toast two internal hard
drive on my near new MacBook Pro recently in the space of two weeks recently
and was able to recover a lot of stuff this way, despite the fact that the
MacBook wouldn't boot up and the disk was making all sorts of bad clicking
noises.

Others have mentioned some software that might help if you deleted  
some files or have a corrupted file system.  Just don't do anything  
with the disk, if you can, until you run recovery software.


If the macBook is broken, maybe you can place the drive in another.   
If the drive is broken, then this can get expensive and I don't know

I've used Boomerang Data Recovery software with very good sucess rates
dealing with broken flash memory (pendrives, sd cards) and HD. Bonus point
that it already deals with HFS+ stuff

It is not cheap but I've paid and am happy.
