External Drive....
Windows jacked up an external drive I have, and now it tells me that it cannot be read. Anyone used a good recovery program that works?

You could try using disk dump if you have any *nix experience, but without knowing more about what is wrong I can't really suggest a repair/recovery strategy.
What exactly is wrong with the drive? Does it make any strange sounds like "whirrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrr CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK" or "Whirrrrr-click whirrrrrr-click?" Does it power up? What is Windows saying? Have you tried the drive with a different machine?

it could also be the connector inside the hard drive maybe. if you do a search on youtube for your model on tearing it apart, you might could take it out and put it in a desktop and see if you can get it to load up and at least get the stuff you might need off of it!
Have you tried it in another pc? I have used a couple programs but they are on my other computer and the hd crashed so hopefully and save the data when i get the computer up and running with the new hd!
