I've got a lot of data on an external drive that is currently not showing up on my desktop. When I open Disk Utilities the drive shows up, but I can't run any repairs on it. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of some quality disk repair software? I'd really rather not pay 800$ to recover the data, but there's a lot of crucial work on the drive, that I really don't want to lose.
Thanks |

Thanks fellas for the ideas. The drive shows up as a volume in Disk Utility's, for example it looks somehthing like DMI 000E3 111.7 GB. Does that mean your suggestion might work? 100$ is certainly more appealing than 8. Also I tried the demo of Disk Warrior and it found nothing, but I suppose the full version is necessary right?
