The PC-related items you mentioned did not work, and to try the Mac-related items I need to wait for him to come back with his Mac, so I won't keep you waiting any longer. &nbsp;I think what you listed was very thorough and I appreciate the help. &nbsp;If none of this works, we're probably looking at professional data recovery services as a last resort.

My boss has an NTFS formatted external hard drive. He bought a shiny new Macbook Pro w/ Parallels. We plugged in the external drive to pull off his photos, videos and tax info. Neither Windows or OS X would read the drive.<br />
<br />
We plugged the drive back into a Dell XP desktop to pull off the files. Windows cannot see the drive, not even in the Logical Disk Manager.<br />
<br />
What to do to avoid the boss' wrath?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
