[comp.sys.mac.misc] Optical drive recovery

ndg503@csc.anu.edu.au (02/18/91)

Hi,

I need some desparate help. I have been using a Relax Optical Drive to
do my backups. Last Saturday, it just seemed to have stopped working.
When I moved the optical drive to another machine, there was that famous
message "This disk is unreadable, do you want to initialize it". So I
tried some of the standard recovery tools: 1st Aid HFS and SUM. Neither
of these two seemed to recognize the drive at all.

Have I lost my files?

thanx,
