881558 2010-05-01 11:45:00 Hey my mates hard drive in his macbook has just failed. He did not keep any of his important files backed up, so he needs a data recovery company in Auckland that is really good and not too expensive. nedkelly (9059)
881559 2010-05-01 11:46:00 What kind of hdd is it? SCSI? Speedy Gonzales (78)
881560 2010-05-01 11:56:00 Macbooks use sata. nedkelly (9059)
881561 2010-05-01 12:01:00 You might be able to slave it and get the data off, I have done that before.

Also booting into something like Puppy Linux can help access dead drives that aren't quite dead.

881562 2010-05-01 12:05:00 Yup connect it to a sata connection then. See if the BIOS can see it. If it can, I maybe able to get whatever off it. But you / your mate would have to bring it to mt eden. What filesystem does it use? Speedy Gonzales (78)
881563 2010-05-01 12:22:00 Hmm I think it is HFS+ Will check nedkelly (9059)
881564 2010-05-01 12:25:00 Ok. I dont know if this program supports HFS+. I'll have to check Google / the site Speedy Gonzales (78)
881565 2010-05-01 12:31:00 It it's important data, take it to a specialist. "connecting it to a sata port" and "booting a linux distro" are not the actions of a specialist. datarecovery.co.nz have a very good reputation. jackM (14814)
881566 2010-05-01 12:34:00 does datarecovery.co.nz do mac formats? nedkelly (9059)
881567 2010-05-01 12:35:00 According to this they do (datarecovery.co.nz) Speedy Gonzales (78)
