[QUOTE="sooty1892, post: 1515985, member: 262958"] I bought Data Rescue 3 and I recovered all my files, some without folder structure but at least I got them. I still have a problem with the hard drive though because I tried formatting it using Disk Utility so it would actually mount by I get this message: Volume Erase failed with the error: File system formatter failed. I didn't really know what this means so I tried partitioning the hard drive using the GUID partition but that didn't work either. Do you know how I can format it again so it works or what the problem is? Are there any other formatting programs which I can use? Thanks [/QUOTE]
