Hello, I am trying to grab my data of a hard drive that died on me. I replaced the contoller, and the drive spins up now. I can see in disk utility that it recognizes the drive as well as the two partitions. Both verification, and repair fail for both partitions on the drive.I am running tech tool now to check the hardware, but I am having a difficult time recovering the data from the drive. Both Data Rescue and Disk Warrior freeze on me when they are loading up. has anyone run into this problem before. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as another way to get the data off the drive.
