Was working on a project last night and Paris kinda crashed with a "failure
to calculate overview" and when I tried to save, got a disk read error.

I rebooted and now it asks if I want for format the drive, that it is unformatted.

A pretty recent WD 80 gig with light use. I really need some stuff off it.

Ideas????

TIA

EasyRecovery Professional 6.1
Expensive, but it works if you don�t have a true hardware failure
A free trial version will tell you what files it can restore, but it must
be run from a working system drive.
A second PC with a removable sled is a good approach to this kind of repair.

I always backup--I have over a terrabyte of drive space here. I worked on
this all day, and was 10 minutes away from backing up and heading home.

David--were you getting the same "not formatted message"? I like the price
:)

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. Several months ago I "lost" 2 80gb
MAXTOR drives. I'm pretty sure its a hardware issue (though if I'm wrong I
may try the software David recommended.) I just wanted to let you know that
my thoughts are with you. Its a major domo drag.
May the road rise up to me you.

And for the record, I got the name of the software from a post a few
months back by our local Adonis... Dimitrios. Credit where credit is
due! :-)

Mike,
If you still have those drives, stuff them in the freezer in sleds for an
hour. Put some silica gel bags on them to keep out moisture. Take them
straight from the freezer to the PC, see what you might be able to salvage.
If the bearings are giving out, this will give you a window to nab some data
back.
Rinse, repeat as needed until the drive gives out.

Dear John,
I have tried most of them...
The only one that works truly even under FDisk format accident !! is GetDataBack.
Count my word here because I had some severe loss and whatever I tried the
only one that saved my a... was GetDataBack.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dimitrios

First, a huge thanks to Dimitrios and Davis/EK--this group is the best!

I got it and it pretty much worked. Most everything (so far) seems fine.
The folder I was working in though, seems completely scrambled--the vocal
tracks jump from click to guitar to vocal radomly. Fortunately, they were
guide tracks for a session next week and can be redone if needed. One of
the other projects seems to have a couple of random mixed up tracks. But
I got most of it.

Any ideas??

Hay Aaron,
Thanks man, I was thinking I might give the freezer cure a try -but I hadn't
heard the part about the bags -makes good sense. I was reading about folks
dropping drives from some prescibed distance. But somehow, freezing seems
slightly more genteel :-)

I've personally frozen a good amount of them, and it works. On the other
hand, I watched Tank wrangle an unruly drive by bending it (!!) over the
edge of a counter when it didn't want to boot... 'while' it was spinning
up.. and then it booted. Sickest thing I've ever seen done to a drive, LOL !
