Hi folks,

I've been asked by a friend to look at his HDD (Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 40GB) to see if I can retreive some photos that are stored on it as he has been having problems.

I checked the hard drive in a USB HD enclosure with no luck. Volume is not being shown in Disk Managment at all.

Tried again using Knoppix Live CD just in case and nothing again.

Is there anything else I can try or will I have to look for a commercial recovery outfit

If so, do you know any that are reasonalby priced?

Thanks in advance,
Q
