Hi:

There are hard drive recovery services. The best one I know of is in Novato, California.
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/
A Flordia based company could not help me and recommended the Novato outfit. It turns out the cost of the recovery is related to the capacity of the drive, not the amount of data on the drive so I didn't have the drive recovered. A friend, who thought he had RAID backup, found out it was not backup and happily paid $4k some years ago to have his business drive recovered.

Have Fun,

The procedure you describe is useful for a retrieving data from a drive

NO operating system (not even MacOS) can cure a drive that has suffered a
complete hardware failure.  It's just not possible.

The one in my main system just died :-(.  I have a lot
of stuff on LS-120
disks, and while I can read them on a system in another
room and network the
files it is rather a PITA (plus it is probably only a
matter of time until
that one dies too).

I will remove the dead one and look for any obvious
problems, but I'm not
optimistic.

I am in the UK not the USA by the way.

Please respond off-list.
