Let us know if you find anything that works. I have a dead drive from a little while back that I haven't tossed yet, and would like to recover so pics from it (as well as my wife's most recent version of her resume). I tried the freezer, but it didn't help.

I think I'm going to try spinrite. It has a money back guarantee, so I think it's probably a safe bet.

Gillware.com they are very good and fast. It's free for them to look at the drive and then they will call you with details of whats recoverable. The service for recovery is usually a flat fee of $397.00 (plus shipping and media to put data on)which is very good. If you use my affiliate code (9516 i think i will let you know when i get in the office) when filling out the form you will get free return shipping and up to 7 dvd's(thats what they put the data on unless you have other requests) for free. I'v used them probably 10-15 times over the last year since switching from the other company i dealt with and all have been good experinces.
Jake I checked and my affiliate id is 9516. ***Disclaimer i do get a referal fee (small) from them. i only mention the affiliate code to get you free shipping and DVD's.

No luck with either Data Rescue II or Spinrite. I'm thinking this thing is well and truly hosed. Neither even saw the hardware, although the hardware was making plenty of noise.

Hmm, keep us posted. I have a drive in similar condition so I'm curious how you get it back.

By the way, Snakeyes, I'm not ignoring you, and I appreciate the pointers. However, I think that we're probably just going to give up; I'll have to double check with my wife, but...

I still have the drive from the one hard drive crash I've experienced. It's got a bunch of pictures and documents I'd like to get back.

Just for giggles, have you tried plugging it into a different controller?
I helped someone a bit ago with one he swore was dying as it was making noise. Well it turned out it was the controller was causing eratic behavior of the disc.

oh, it's been in 3 or 4 different controllers by now. Definitely the drive. I've been getting quotes on data recovery this morning. Gillware is the best so far, but there's a pretty significant premium for it being a Mac.
