hi, need some help recoeverying a mac file system hard drive on a windows pc, ive tried macdrive 9 and it wont see the hard drive, ive tested a working mac hard drive and the program sees it so program etc all ok, i have this hard drive i need recoverying connected to my laptop threw usb and windows beeps when you plug it in and if you go to admin tools and then storage the hard drive sort of gets recognised, it sees it has not initialized and it i click to iniialize it it says the device is not ready, also the hard drive is making a beeping sound every 2 or 3 seconds, it doesnt seem to be spinning properly and just beeping instead, anybody got any ideas what software or what ever will recover this drive ? its mainly photo recovery, any help is greatly apreciated, thanks
 
Hi, after doing quite alot of reading and trying various different programs from what ive read about a beeping hard drive not spinning properly needs some parts inside the hard drive replacing, also from what ive read it needs doing in like a lab enviroment as not to damage any of the data, not something ive ever looked into before so could be totally wrong, so question is does anyone know of anyone or any shops that can do this ? Only things that need recovering are the photos on the hard drive, thats the only concern, any info much appreciated ? Thanks
 
had a friend that enquired to seagate with same issue, his was for cctv, im sure it was a pound per gb, ie 500gb = £500
