[Wolves] Fwd: rescuing data from windows 8 acer machine with efi boot

[Kevanf1]

First thing is.... can the BIOS see device?  If not, consider that the
drive itself might be fried :(  Which could mean the logic board is
done for.  Fingers crossed this is not the case.  Of course if it the
vendor should replace the drive but they will not pay out for data
recovery :(
