Since they are going to replace a new one for me, and I'm given 15 days to try to backup that faulty HDD, I'll give everything a try. Oh jeez, this will suck big time if I can't retrieve my dog's puppy photos...

I can read the drive with another computer can even see partition and see the other drive. One I cant read is F:\ the G:\ is accesible and can be read. Whenever I load via 2.5 hd reader I get a message saying it wants to format the drive which I dont want to do. Now using pc inspector aint worked. Now from what i can see is I format the drive and then use pc inspector to recover the lost folder (pictures) thats all my friend really wants saved. But is there not a program I can use to access this drive. With pc inspector Ive managed to find all the old deleted files but this is not what I need I need to access the current folder and get its files. Any ideas???? Ok heres one for everyone.

Most of the time they will still show up in the bios but will require data recovery methods similar to the ones above because you cannot boot from them. Trust me, as someone who has worked in the IT industry for over 15 years, I have been able to recover data from drive failures countless times following steps similar to the ones in this post. -Casey Rob,

I took it to some one to repair it, they-re installing a new drive but they say the contents of the old one are unsccessible as the drive won't read Would this work if the hard drive crashed is “unreadable”?
