Well,
If it’s something that disk drill can’t handle, you might have to. Also, you might want to check into replacement HDD hardware cards that can get you back into operation. If that turns out to be the case, once you have replacement hardware electronics then you should be able to back up data off that drive.

I guess it should be able to read from windows seeing as it us a JPG and not some exotic open source file:!) I guess it just got corrupted. The question still remains, is there a way to recover the files on the drive? I hope so, There were pictures on that drive. My entire south carolina trip!

Have two problems with those directions though: 1. that requires admin privileges and I don't know how to do that. 2. when I stick the drive in it gives me the insert drive tone and then the disconnect drive tone and never assigns a drive letter to it. Then it repeats that until I pull the drive. And if I've kept the drive in there long enough it keeps doing that after I've pulled the drive. 3.
