If he (or you) have another machine, it could be removed and put in that either directly or with a USB hard drive adapter to see if it will mount on another machine - there's always the possibility that the drive controller has failed rather than the drive. If that works, you could make an image of the disk using dd or other disk imaging tools. s/ -- Save BBC 6 Music http://www.love6music.com My CV: http://sites.google.com/site/simongreenwoodscv/ Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Support for unemployed IT professionals:
