[Gllug] Anyone know anything about hardware ?

[Wiehe, Simon]

I have a faulty hard disk and investigations show that it is a manufacturing fault with a chip on the controller board and there is nothing wrong with the platters or data. I have got a quote of £400+vat to recover the data, they also state that under no circumstances should I attempt to replace the controller board as this store drive characteristics and will cause a drive failure and lose my data.

Anyone got any ideas how I can get this data off the disk? Currently the disk is not recognised by the BIOS, although I have not tried it in a second machine to see if it is recognised in there.

Thanks

Simon
