Hey guys I had a hard drive at work crap out. Well really what happened is someone sat on a desk and he's a fat *** so it broke and landed on the computer. I swaped out a different hd and now the computer is running like a champ but something happened to the original hd. You can pull up the directory in dos and everything is there but it wont read it. I dont know if the jar scratched soemthing in there or what but I cant even use Drive Copy to get it onto another hd.



Any suggestions??? How can you recover the info off a bad drive???

Nah, i already tried the slace thing, thats basically how drive copy works.



I found a guy that does data recovery for the police and fbi so he should be pretty damn good. I'm going to see him today. Its $50 an hour which isnt bad at all in my book!!!!
