If there are hardware problems and you can still spin the drive up, you might want to true using dd/ddrescue to make a copy of the drive while it's still somewhat functional. If you have data you want to recover that may or may not have been written over, try using photorec. You can install photorec (and testdisk for recovering partitions) on most linux distros. You can also try using Ubuntu Rescue Remix (http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/) which is a LiveCD that comes with many recovery/forensics tools pre-installed, including testdisk and photorec. ddrescue http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html photorec/testdisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download Josh Reaves Electronic Technician Wasco Union High School District Office: (661)758-7423 x.45168 Mobile: (661)201-4748 [email protected]
