[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1221287, member: 45350"] What about pulling the HDD and putting it in another external enclosure? Possible its the case and not the drive itself . . . .. BTW: This is just one in a long string of cat-related cat-tastrophes reported here. :\ Hope everything works out for you EDIT: There are some Mac data recovery programs out there; I haven't used any of them but I understand that they often allow a free trial to see if the data is visible--you then have to buy the program to do the recovery. Obviously, if you go this route you will want to download to an external drive to avoid any further over-writing of your precious and hopefully recoverable data. [/QUOTE]
