I haven't been able to mount my external harddrive since a fuse in my house blew.
I've tried to rebuild the directory with Disc Warrior 3.0.3 rev.38.
But it was unable to fix it.
I only got a error message saying that the the directory was to damaged to fix due to error (2155).

Is there any way to rescue the stuff on my hard drive?

ps. I've tried Data Rescue II and all it came up with was errors 341.
Does this mean that I've lost all data on the hard drive?
 
Certainly looks like it. :/ There are professional data recovery services, but they cost a lot of money (too much for private use, probably).
 
Drive Savers does get data back in most cases. We had some specific data on a server hard drive that was lost in a complete hard drive failure between backups. Drive Savers cost us over $2000, but the data they recovered was worth more than the time to recover it manually.
 
Well, i ran a "Thorough Scan" in Expert Mode (as opposed to the Quick Scan in Assistant) and this time it seems to be working.

The only thing i don't understand is the three folders i got:
CBR
Maxtor 6 Y200P0 Media
Orphans Folder

Am I supposed to recover all of this??? Or just one?
The Orphans Folder seems to contain a zillion .aiff files...???

Anyone got any ideas?
