You didn't mention what happens when you try to access the drive from Windows. Is Windows unable to see the drive? <br><br>If the drive is showing signs of bad sectors a tool such as SpinRite (<a href="http://www.grc.com">www.grc.com</a>) may be able to recover the data on those sectors and move it to a good sector. Costs you some money, but you don't have to learn how to use the tool, just run it and let it do it's work. <br>
<br>ddrescue appears to attempt a similar operation, but instead of trying to recover data and remap bad sectors is just copies the data from one drive to another. Not a bad idea in case your attempts at data recovery make the situation worse. <br clear="all">
