So okay Jim claims that the missing posts I saw were not removed so all I can say is ... Thank you unknown benefactor !!! Your links to the Mac Data Recovery software site did the trick .... exactly what I wanted; a solution that allowed data recovery off of a Mac disk onto a Windows machine .... worked quite nicely ... 99% recovery Since the links (other solutions were also posted but since I only followed up on one I can't post'em), http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Thanks for the suggestions but I should have told Jimbo that it is a (mostly) dead OS X 10.4 HD. The Mac machine will not see it at all, and Windows XP will see it, but as an uninitiated disk. MacDrive sees it as a unrecoverable / damaged file structure disk ... the repair option does not work as it does not see a Mac Volume. It gives the option to reformat but that is not what I want to do. Any suggestions on industrial strength data recovery? My nephew has most of his Master's research on this puppy and isn't really in a position to send it to a recovery service for $2500 Tanks in advance
