I'm able to see that my computer recognizes that the drive is plugged in, but Windows can't see it, nor can any data recovery programs for Vista, so Ubuntu is my only other option.

Dilandou's life. From Zaibachs brainwashing, being experimented on, and torture to his obsession with Van. To the song "Triumph" by Royksopp. This is an old video I made awhile back that I just recently found on a hard drive recovery.
(READ DESCRIPTION) Solution for fixing PS3 Hard Drive Corruption. FAQ'S below. FAQ's: Q: On what gigs does this work on? A: So far all I know are 80 gigs, 40 gigs, and 160 gigs. I have gotten comments of people telling me it worked on there ___ gigs. Q: How do I take out the Blue Screw on the HDD? A: The blue screw needs a smaller star head screw driver to open it. What I did is I went to the dollar store and got a mini screw driver. Just say if you can have a glasses screw driver and they will have it. All dollar stores have it. Once you get the screw driver, its gonna be hard to take out the blue screw since it was screwed in hard. What I did was that I got a plier and put it on the little screw driver and then unscrewed the blue screw. Q: I have tried this video, but it didn't work, help! A: I'm not an expert on this so I'm guessing that it doesn't work with all PS3's, but still try it. It worked with mine though. Also, you may have not taken out the HDD that quick. I will keep updating more when I keep seeing the same questions.
HDRC the NO. 1 in Data recovery services, data recovery tools and data recovery training are providing platter replacement tool for laptop hard drive . this video is for educational purpose for how to remove and replace back the platter using platter exchanger tool by HDRC.
This is a school project, our theme was on computer forensics and we decided to recover data from a formatted Hard Disk. Our main objective is to prove that data recovery from a hard disk is possible. It can be used against you as evidence of illegal copyright files such as videos and music. Basically, formatting your drive doesn't erase any thing at all.
This is how we recover data from hard drives. It dont matter if they are from a laptop notbook, server or desktop. IED, SCSI or Sata. He is how we do it. www.rebootit.biz
Is DOD or Gutmann HDD wiping excessive?
Is single pass zero write to a drive good enough? Do you have a good reference to cite to support that?
I work for company that doesn't have any secrets that would be wanted by a well funded organization that could pay for super exotic data recovery. My boss is writing a policy to scrubbing drives and he thinks we need to use the DOD standard, I think it is excessive and will waste time.
I am somewhat of a hard drive recovery expert myself, and I have never seen a method to recover data from a file that has been overwritten. I know there are way to recover data from remapped sectors, which is usually minimal data anyways. A 35 pass wipe wouldn't give you a advantage over 1 wipe in that case.
I think there is zero advantage to multiple wipe over single wipe. According to Peter Gutmann is theoretically possible to recover data after rewrite by using a Magnetic Force Scanning Tunneling Microscope. I couldn't imagine it taking less then weeks and cost 100's thousands of dollars with that method. I can't find any data recovery service that can claim to recover overwritten sectors. Maybe the NSA or CIA does it on super important stuff, but no one is talking about it.
I found this reference http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/overwritten-data-gutmann.html
Anybody else find any references confirming or rejecting this idea?
