I'd take a look at the demo for Data Rescue X. My drive was just as
you described yours; I couldn't see anything.

Thank you John. I thought about those utilities but since the drive

even show up in Disk Utility or System Profiler, I was not sure
they would
be worth the trouble. I'll give them a shot to see...

You might also look into couple of software options:
Data Rescue X from Prosoft:

and File Salvage from SubRosaSoft:

main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1
I've never really used either, although I did download a Data Rescue
X demo. There is a limitation on how many files it will retrieve in
demo mode. I had a hard drive that had failed and the utilities you
mentioned couldn't fix it. There was one file I really needed and
the demo of Data Rescue X found it and copied it to a good drive. I
used it by putting the bad laptop drive in an external case and
attached it to a working computer and installed the demo on it.

I have a friend who brought me her PowerMac with a failing hard
drive. I've
tried with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior to see if I could try to
recover
something from it but the drive doesn't even show up.
So, I mentioned to her that there are data recovery companies
that can
recover most of damaged hard drives. I told her it could be very
expensive
but she's very wealthy.
So, I've heard a few times about DriveSavers but are there any other
companies that people used with success?
Thanks!
