[QUOTE="twizzard, post: 1887821, member: 115846"] A really good solution is SpinRite by GRC.com -- at the moment Version 6 only runs on a PC, but version 6.1 will run on a Mac and will be much faster and will be a free upgrade for those owning version 6. I have personally used it to recover data from a disk that showed over 256,000 uncorrectable disk errors (although it was not sure about 4 bits on the drive). I have recovered all the data from other drives, and even purchased a PC just to use SpinRite. It turns off the error correction on the drive and reads many times to try very hard to figure out each bit, and then rewires that data perfectly and proceeds. The current version can take days for a good size drive. Do not try to send money; go to grc.com instead. [/QUOTE]
