Hello All,

I'm trying to recover the data from an Apple Branded Seagate ST3500418AS for a client. The drive was pulled from an iMac which would no longer boot. The drive spins up ok, but tests bad. The drive is recognized correctly in the Device Manager in Windows XP, Vista, 7, etc., as well as in Disk Utility in OS X, but it does not show up as an accessible drive otherwise. It shows in Linux, but unable to mount. Trying to recover using DDI 4 (with network add-on) the drive shows up as two partitions (200MB and 465GB). Filesystem Scan works fine on the 200MB partition, but I get a "No Volume Header Found" or "Volume Header Missing" when trying "Filesystem Scan" on the 465GB partition. Any suggestions?

Started to clone with DDI4 as per your suggestion (thank you). Initially it was working (for a short while), but now I'm just getting repeated "bad block at LBA XXXXXX (120 sectors). Do I need to tweak DDI4 settings? ...or any other suggestions?

Also make sure drive has no FileVault (encrypted partition)
