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. |

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. |

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? |

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. |
