HOW DATA RESCUE 2 SAVED MY A**!!! and WHY U SHOULD BUY IT NOW

After i impatiently and foolishly powered off one of my Lacie drives  
(the computer was hanging on startup and I thought that might "help")  
the disk became "unreadable" and the OS wanted to initialize it.  
Since it contained about 200Gig of extremely important and valuable  
data (logic files and attendant audio files, mastering sessions in  
pro tools etc) and projects/songs that were  un-replaceable, a casual  
reformatting was not an option.

No biggie - i ALWAYS have an exact copy of everything on another  
drive - usually I buy pairs of drives and backup constantly - so i  
wasn't that worried....yet....

Until I restarted....panic....now 2 drives were unreadable, my main  
project drive AND its backup. I was *&%^$#*^'d...in a huge way - all  
of the musicians I had paid. The artists I had produced....the co- 
writers, mixers.....it went on and on.

neither drive responded to Disk Utility, disk warrior, OR tech Tool  
Pro....so i was ready to give up, when I started googling and  
googling....

soon i had downloaded Data rescue, and had it perform a 3 hour scan,  
and another 3 hour "something' before it could then copy what it  
found to another drive.

This morning (copying took 5 hours) i awoke to see a successful  
recover, in the software's opinion...but I still wondered if the  
Logic files would remember they were Logic, and whether or not they  
would know how to find audio, and how much data I had lost...I was a  
mess.

So I hooked the recovery drive up to my rig...saw Logic icons (whew)  
and loaded the first song. Since the directories had changed (the  
drive now had a new name) it took some time to find all of the files,  
but they were still in the same relative directories as before. It  
was relatively simple, and VOILA....the first song played and opened.

after 24hours of opening songs and projects (most valuable to least  
valuable) I can report that EVERY SINGLE SONG was recovered and plays  
perfectly. I am COMPLETELY saved from the nightmare or losing all of  
that work time and expense.

I also went out to the comp store and bought 4 new Rocstor drives -  
I'm doing 3 copies of everything from here on in...and NEVER  
unplugging a drive again!!

Thanks DATA RESCUE!!! - hope this helps someone else.
