Data Recovery

I have a Maxtor HardDrive that has died, and I am unable to recovery data from it.
The HDD shows in the BIOS, but it will not display in Windows when I run it as a slave drive.
I have also tried the Easy Recovery Program, and tried to use an emergency boot disk.


Any ideas?

Give GetDataBack from www.runtime.org a try - it is one of the best data recovery programs.  If it detects your files and you want to save them, you will have to pay a small fee to purchase it.
You can try booting the PC with a knoppix CD and the try to mount the drive and copy the data off it. If that doesn't work also try getdataback from http://runtime.org. If neither helps, you can try putting the disk into an airtight plastic back and putting it into a freezer for up to an hour, then connect it to the PC again and try the above mentioned tools to recover the data. If that doesn't help either, you are left with a datarecovery agency, of which the best is probably gillware.
