I've been trying to get some important videos and pictures off of a hard drive that is simply unresponsive. It is a ExcelStor J240 ATA100 drive.
Mechanically it spins up, and sounds normal, but it doesnt show up in System Profiler, Disk Utility, TechTool deluxe, Disk Warrior, Data Rescue II or anything else ive tried.
Also note that it is the 3.5 drive from an external firewire drive. ive put it in 4 enclosures, a Lacie Firewire case (i think its for IDE though), its original case, a Powermac G3 B&W REV 1, a Powermac G4 sawtooth. and still nothing!! this is killing me
Besides the original case, i don't know if it is supposed work in any of these other ones i've tried. whne i put it in the original case it wont spin up until i unplug the firewire cable from on of the ports and replug it in to the other... its so confusing.. and priceless memories are stuck inside it
Can someone please help me?
thanks in advance
