Re: LCD Message : FAILED: Disk 1
The snap os uses an odd ball file structure that nothing but another snap can inturpet. It all depends on what has happened to the drive, whether media or system board failure. As to any that has worked. this gets in to a very big IF. If a utility fails, it corrupts the hd more. So if your convinced that you must have the data, NO NOT use any utilities. Now after you get your price quote and decide it is way to expensive, then you can take the chance. Other wise leave it as is. Now a test to see if it's hardware or media. Is to use Digital Dolly and try to clone the HD. If it's able to read the whole disk without failure, Spinrite may be able to repair the drive. This just tells me it has media problem. Which presents another issue. The more you try to read it the worst it gets. To the point it will rip the heads off, and gouge the disk. Not good. You have lost your chance to recover.
