Is the drive stuffed, or was it formatted?
if it was formatted/deleted We can help, if it's stuffed, it's stuffed(there is one method that MIGHT, but it's not for the feint hearted - put it in your freezer for 30 mins)
if it's formatted try not to write/use it. as the more u do, the more u write over.

As DJ Way said, define "stuffed". If it's software induced, there's a lot can be done to recover from just about anything short of a full format :) [and even then...]
If it's making-funny-noises stuffed, then ... well, there's ways and means. Freezing is the second step I'd go to, first being lightly (LIGHTLY damnit!) tapping it with a screwdriver. Freezing. Then moving on to opening it up and assisting it's start if it has a siezed bearing.
With any physical fault, have a new drive of same or larger capacity ready to dump any data on to, as it can be a very time sensitive thing to get data off intact.
If we're talking run-over-by-a-sheeps-foot-roller stuffed, then you need to go talk to hard drive rescue companies... and that sort of thing is expensive.
Good luck! |

not formatted or anything like that
ok so windows cant read anything off it because it says its corrupt
but it is able to recognize it when connected to the computer
no noises comin from it and it can stay powered.
i got the darn thing around 3 months ago so go figure
just used the r-studio demo and it is able to read all the files on it |

OLi_A: GREAT, we can get the data off it (as long as the drive doesn't totally crash and burn in the mean time).
As bragi said, do you have a replacment drive to copy the data to?
bragi: what software is easiest to get (and crack) in your mind. We have a registered app @ work, and that name has slipped my mind.
