Hi,
I recently caused my iMac G5 to fall over (long story - my own stupid fault) which seems to have physically damaged the drive.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of using Data Rescue X (or any other program) for rescuing data from the drive.
I've managed to find copies of most of my photo elsewhere, and the kind people at iTMS let me download my purchases again for free (I'd only asked to download my last two orders again as I hadn't backed them up yet), so I have most of what I want off the drive.
Given that, I'm not at the moment prepared to pay £200+ to get the data restored by professionals, so wondered if anyone had has any luck restoring data themselves.
I'm also concerned that trying to do so may cause further damage, which I want to avoid in case I remember some other important files I had on the drive.
