Comment: I tried booting up to the Laptop HD with my Live Foundstone CD but it did not recognize it. Then I tried hooking it up to my PC with a Laptop to IDE HD adapter and trying to recover it with GetDataBack soft ware since that worked before on my 120G maxtor HD. No luck this time, still didnt recognize the drive. Any suggestions? TIA

If not, the data recovery software cannot help you, you must send it to data recovery company.

No. My next step will be to try to find the same HD somewhere and swap the drive electronics board. I'll let yall know how that goes. -Rob
