Rod,

You described two pieces of digital media that were known to have data on them, but when you examine them.....there is no data. What methods/tools are you using to examine them?

Is that SCSI part of a raid?

Subject: 2 data recovery questions

I have 2 data recovery situations that could use an opinion.

1. a 100GB+ scsi disk from an SGI that has data on it, but nothing is visible. I'd prefer either a professional but affordable service recommendation, or a freely downloadable toolkit, preferably Linux, but I do

have another SGI I could load it on, too. I've downloaded the PLAC toolkit iso, but haven't tried it yet. Any other recommendations?

• a 3.3V 64MB SmartMedia card that was filled up in the camera, but now

  shows as blank (errors) both in the camera and in the FlashPath floppy adapter. . I downloaded a piece of software that said it might read it, but

it doesn't show any more data. I've considered buying a USB adapter just to
try recovery one more way, but I do not have high hopes. Any opinions to the contrary?

TIA
Rod
