Try the test disk program from UBCD4 win disk. There's a few others I've
used also, but they're on another disconnected drive at the moment.Heck,
send me the drive I'd be more than happy to take a stab at recovering it for
you?  No charge, I just do it to keep my skills up? I'm no master data
recovery specialist, but I've done a few of these and been pretty successful
at it? I've only run across 1 drive that I couldn't get useable data from?

 Send me an email off list if you want.

I had the same problem with a 250 Silver model Iomega. All of a sudden it
did have any date on it. (3000) mp3 songs. Because it was out of warranty
they said I would have to a 3rd party company to try and retreive what they
could. I sent the drive into the 3rd party company to see what they could do
for me. 
They wanted $1600.00 to try and restore what they could. I told them to keep
the drive because they wanted me to pay shipping cost of $35.00 to get back
a dead drive. I still own (5) Silver (250) gig drives. I will be selling
them on E-Bay soon. I am switching over to Western Digital (125) pocket
drives. Nothing higher than (125) gig drives. I will never buy another
Iomega product. I have been using these (pocket drives) from Western
Digital. I have (7) now and I back the same info to another drive. I have
two drives with the same info. It is costly but it is worth it in my
computing business. "Fool me Once" I have been fooled. "Fool me Twice" I am
the Fool. never again.

Hi, 
 
My Iomega 500Gb external USB is on the blink/expired... 
I've removed it from the box & hooked it up directly to the IDE lead & it
shows up in XP Win Explorer but I can't access it. 
Have tried Ranish on it & it shows it as being formatted as FAT16 & having
no data. 
Anybody know any useful software that I might try to get my data off it... 
It's a Seagate make of HD. 
Thanks in advance... 
Mark
