Pete49, you may be able to recover the data with a compact linux run directly from a boot disk. I use Puppy linux since it easily starts off of a CD, and then can run completely in memory, freeing up the disk drive to examine your failed backup disks. I have recovered several failed Windows systems with it. It's available free as a download online (if you can get to another computer to make up a boot CD). When you see the Puppy Linux boot screen type pfix=ram and that will load it into memory and free up the drive so you can remove the disk. Then you can mount your backup disks and look at the info on them. |

Thanks for the tip VT.... I have Hirems boot disk (Linux programs) to fix stuff ups but forgot all about it was so p#$&^ off with windoze I'll give it a run :nrocks: Pete |
