Do you have any ideas about this? I really would like to get the data off of these drives.............

Hi,

Well-- today I took my drives over to a friend's house who has a PC, and I hooked up my drives one by one, and created a virtual raid block and did a scan looking for jpeg images.

I let it scan for a few hours, and then stopped the process and examined the outcome. It showed the scan blocks ...
