DiskWarrior

There are no problems with the array itself....have run a full Diskwarrior scan to confirm this. ...

DiskWarrior works well. I'd highly recommend trying that. I've also heard of examples of people putting the drive in an external case and at least getting data recovered from it.

Hi, I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and am experiencing some major problems. Before upgrading, I backed-up to an external USB Hard Drive (Lacie) via SuperDuper!. I wanted to do a fresh upgrade, so I opted for the erase and upgrade option. Everything went fine with the upgrading and so, I used the migration assistant to transfer all of the previous data from the...
