hard drive went down...any way to retrieve data on it?

[wowzer]

It is an 80 gig maxtor Apple original. The thing has some limited data, but information that the wife wanted. Is there a way to retrieve the data? The drive wont mount, but will show up in disk utility. I cannot verify/repair the drive.

Thanks.

I just bought and downloaded diskwarrior...crossing fingers.

Data Rescue might be able to recover some of it.

Yep, DataRescue is good stuff.

looks bad for DiskWarrior...not really getting anywhere.

DW froze...data rescue loading now. sigh...

If all software routes fail - Prosoft Data Rescue recovery service or Drive Savers would be the route....

If the drive can at least be seen by your repair utilities, there's a chance that you can recover something from it.

I can see the drive and the drive name...but data rescue keeps popping up with alerts that the drive is reading slow...and needs me to click the ignore button.
