I currently have two Iomega Prestige external drives that I have been using to back up both Raw and Jpeg files from my Apple Mac.
Although most of my data has been duplicated and backed up on both drives I believe some of my recent files had only been copied to one of these.
Unfortunately when I switch on the drive I get an error message stating that the drive cannot be read on my PC (Mac). The drive itself has power and the relevant LED's etc still light up.
I have eliminated any possibilty of faulty cables etc and recently taken the drive to a computer company that offers to recover lost data etc.
However they have indicated that they cannot find any Jpeg files and due with issues concerning the partitioning the Raw files may also be damaged and non recoverable.
I would therefore appreciate any advice / recommendations etc as to where I can get the drive looked at with a view to recovering any lost photographs without breaking the bank as some estimates suggest.
For the record I am in West Sussex nr Gatwick so anywhere local may be an advantage (although obviously I can send the drive away).
I am not sure If I can download or purchase software to do this myself ?
Any help much appreciated.
