Recovering files from corrupted drive Sunday, July 12, 2009 at 2:30 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mick (305 messages posted) Hi, I have vista home premium and my computer crashed. I had the sytem checked and the hard drive (call it hard drive1)was corrupted but still had most of my files on. Someone I know copied all the readable files from the corrupted drive onto another single partition hard drive (call it drive2)using a SATA docking station via his apple mac running xp. I now have a new drive on my computer(call it drive3) installed with vista loaded and wanted to copy the files from hard drive2 onto my new drive3. but when the drive2 is connected to my computer via the usb port it shows up as 4 different drives all empty despite the fact my friend can read the drive ok on his apple mac with xp. I think there is a problem in vista recognising the xp apple mac formated drive but funnily enough when the files are copied to a memory stick on his apple mac(takes for ever) I can read them on my vista computer. Any ideas how to overcome the problem of reading the apple mac xp generated files from hard drive2?
