Hi Gustav:

Do you have a UPS attached to the computer? It might be frustrating if the power went out sometime in September just before the program wrote the boot track.

If this works as planned Yodot will definitely be the go to application for drive recovery.

Hi Jim

Yes:

So I turned to Yodot (the drive repair version at USD 80) which, as the first, tries to pull the data off the drive before attempting a repair. This seems to run - at about 330 MB per hour. 

Speak about patience: my little calculator tells me that the job will go on for 140 days ...

It seems to run steady.

Hi Gustav:

Not surprising. Have you estimated how much time is left?

Hi Jim

Actually I had to buy a new 2 TB drive just for this operation.
