[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 667357, member: 24098"] Did he say the drive was actually bad or failing? It's possible the filesystem might just be damaged. If it's actually faulty, I would start by replacing it. Then, pick up one of [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002"]these external adapters[/URL] and once you've got your system up and running again on the new drive, plug it in externally and copy whatever data you can find back to it. If that doesn't work, Paragon actually has a beta of their Rescue Kit for Mac [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=613409"]available to Mac-Forums members[/URL] that should be able to help with your issue.
