I have a "small" problem.
Just got a HITACHI 80 GB 2.5" 5400RPM SATA INTERNAL HD from a client and he hasn't got a clue about the formating type just wants the data back.
I plugged it in a desktop PC running Win 7 and it shows up in BIOS and under Disk Management bit it says Unallocated Disk Space - Not initialized. I'm pretty sure that from the conversation that i had with him that the disk had partitions but now it just shows one big unallocated space.
Used some software for recovering data which report back bad sectors (interesting some do others don't).
Tried running under Ubuntu - no luck.
I'm running out of options here - any suggestions?
