have a user with a computer problem that i can't solve yet.
the hard drive on his PC suddenly became unbootable. we installed windows on a new drive and installed the other as a slave. have tried a couple of data
recovery apps, but so far they can "see" the drive (windows explorer can't) but can't get any data off of it. one error message is "The request cannot be
performed because of an I/O device error" (see a screen shot here:
is it possible that the jumpers on the drive are misconfigured somehow? if not, any thoughts?
Trying to avoid a data recovery house if at all possible. Any advice is hugely appreciated.
Thanks!
