I have recovered data off of both external and
internal HDs with a very simple method. Using Linux.
Three External Hard drives that Windows or OS would
not recognize were recovered by plugging them in on my
Ubuntu Computer. I have recovered data off of many
internal Hard drives by using a Ubuntu or Knoppix boot
up disc which runs the operating system from the DVD
drive. Once the system is running then it is just a
matter of plugging in an external HD and transferring
all the data. It does not work all of the time, but
drives usually become unreadable to Windows [and mac
but less so] long before they are to Linux so this
should always be the first step in trying to recover
data. Its the cheapest.
