Hard Drive Data Recovery

[sidmel]

Real quick question. Is it at all possible to remove a MLM 007 hard drive and connect it directly to a PC to attempt data recovery?

If so, can someone direct me to a Web site with instructions on the tools needed?

Thanks in advance.

No. There is a small DOS partition on the drive with the bootup instructions, but the rest of the data is in a CP/M partition which is not readable by a PC.

Is the hard drive damaged? What data do you want to recover?

There are a couple people that are interested to see if I can pull out some the actual voice messages. It's not a high priority and was more of a 'if this were a perfect world' scenario.

Well - anything can be done, but as "exmogger" said - the files are not readily accessible by a PC and are in a proprietary format most programs cannot correctly interpret. If the hard disk contains a large number of voice mail boxes and messages - it would also be a very tedious, laborious process to extract them one by one. It is also possible, but difficult, to copy the entire drive to another drive for use in a similar or the same voice mail system. Bottom-line - there is no easy, inexpensive way to do what you want to do.
