I suggest you let the drive rest in peace. I had a similar problem with an
IDE based Performa a few years back and there was no solution. I tried
reformating with everything. FWB recognized the drive but still I could not
get system software on it, some error about blocks being bad and Norton Disk
Doctor couldn't fix it. As it turned out I think the boot sector was
completely damaged and irretrievable therefore any data was inaccessable. If
you must try I would go with FWB HardDiskToolKit latest edition and give it
a go.TechTool Pro might also help. Good Luck. :-)
