I've tried to recover an HFS disk with MacTools 6.3 several times without success. It seems to me that there are not many options, aside from "mounting" the disk... Which is the best program to use to recover HFS disks? I'm pretty upset with the quality of MacTools. It seems to crash often and fail most of the time. Any Thoughts? Jim Meiss jdm@ut-ngp.utexas.eduv
