|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Old Drive lost header information Jesse Beals, Photographer Tracyton | WA | USA | Posted: 9:00 PM on 01.29.13 ->> Anybody have an idea how to recover files off an old drive that lost its header information. Drives was about 80% full and crapped out.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They have great customer support, call them before you purchase and explain the problem. Great program to have for a Mac to keep your drives from crapping out for non-mechanical reasons. Run it once a month to keep your machine running fast and detect any problems before they happen. I used it earlier this month to recover over 300 gigs of data on a failing drive. Best $100 bucks I've spent on my Mac. http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It will recover PC, Mac, Linux, DOS, whatever format hard drives. http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
