Any gurus out there that can recover data from a WD800BB with an unreadable P-list? All other mods, except for one SMART mod, can be read correctly.

If you do a self-scan on the drive itself, won't it erase the data?

pcimage is correct, but P-List module here should not be important if translator modules are OK.

I understood what you meant (and what was implied), but I'm concerned that another reader may not . . .

Ah, yes. I suppose it be construed as "run self scan" to a newbie.

Point taken.
