Divide and conquer. Is the problem with the hard disk or the USB case. From what you said, it sounds like the USB hard drive case that has the problem and the hard drive itself is OK. I would remove the hard drive from the current case and put it another USB hard drive case. BTW, how is it formated? If is a format that WIndoze can understand then you can plug the hard drive into a PC and read the data.

The drive is in HSF+ format. When I try to use a recovery util I can get some files but not files that are needed, mostly pics and docs. There are a lot of files that were made with mac and those are the files I can't read.
