If the drive exhibits problems while trying to retrieve data from it, my professional advice is to follow the following path: 1st - repair volume with Disk Utility 2nd - repair volume with Disk Warrior 3rd - call a pro :) I keep Norton Utilities far away from any OS X system I care about. Tech Tool Pro has it's merits as a consumer-level diagnostic tool, but I don't find it particularly useful as a repair tool. Drive 10 is marginally better as a repair tool and once in a blue mood I'll come across a volume that Disk Warrior has trouble with, but Drive 10 is able to repair - so I keep it around, but it's a last resort recommendation. That will be $90, please :) Laurie On 7/27/05 10:37 PM, "Bill Fox" <wfoxjr at earthlink.net> wrote: > Laurie, if her disk was messed up when she lost power, which tool do > you recommend, if any, to recover the data--NU, TTP4, other?
