Hi, got a mates drive here that suddenly decided to stop working and no backup been done since april...lots of baby photos on it 
Have done plenty of data recoveries in the past and have various software for it from the free to the expensive and they are all saying that the drive is blank?
They all read and scan the drive no problem with no read errors or stalling...its almost like its a brand new drive thats never been used.
When i first got it i allowed windows to do a quick format (had to as they couldnt read the file structure) as i know that doesn't wipe the drive.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
