If you absolutely, positively have to recover the drive, I would recommend SpinRite 6 . Its not free; however, I have witnessed it recovering drives that other utilities gave up on. The only problem is that if you use another utility first it may mangle up the drive so bad that SpinRite cannot correct it. Its not quick either. I have seen it take an entire week to rebuild an 80 GB drive, but it DID actually recover all of the data. The choice is yours; however, running SpinRite at its maximum strength -- 5 -- is about as good as it gets unless you want to try a commercial outlet. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
