A few years ago, there was a presentation on disk recovery, at the Toronto Linux Users Group, by someone who does that professionally. He said utilities such as Spinright can often cause more problems than they fix. He also said the standard procedure in his work is to copy as much as possible from the old drive and then work with the copy, rather than attempt to fix the original.That would mean that i could access the drive, to copy the data....
The problem with Spinrite is that it attempts to repair the drive, rather than copy the data to another drive. This means if it messes up, you've lost everything. It's far safer to copy the drive contents to another drive and work on recovery there.
