[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1052016, member: 26315"] Well if the drive will not work on OS X. Then it won't work either on the PC. Because the format the drive is in can't be accessed by the PC. It can only be accessed by OS X in the format it is in now. And since it will not work in OS X I have to idea even if you cen recover the data from that drive. I think it's screwed. But I'm sure someone else will know a way to salvage the data. I surely don't. You could try putting the drive on OS X and using disk utility on it to try to repair it. That is a long shot but worth a try. This assumes the drive is in extended format. If it's in NTFS or FAT and the PC can't access it either then the drive is dead. [/QUOTE]
