I've got a lot of data on an external drive that is currently not showing up on my desktop. When I open Disk Utilities the drive shows up, but I can't run any repairs on it. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of some quality disk repair software? I'd really rather not pay 800$ to recover the data, but there's a lot of crucial work on the drive, that I really don't want to lose.
Thanks |

Does a volume show up, or just the drive itself? Most of the time, when these external drives fail, it's a fault in the FW interface. Here's something you might consider trying; it won't be free, but it should cost a lot less than $800.
Many FW (and USB) external drives are really just ordinary ATA drives mounted in an adaptor box, which converts the interface. If you open yours up, you might be able to remove the drive itself. Then, you can buy another adaptor box sans drive for $100 or so. Put your existing drive in it, and you are (hopefully) back in business. -------------------- Dave Cornutt
