I'm trying to recover data from an old Conner

I've tried hooking it up to my two IDE-to-USB cables, I can't see it
on my Mac when connected to either. I can see it on my WinXP system
when connected to the older cable (which oddly enough doesn't like
most HD's I've plugged into it). However, I don't see any sign of
partitions.
I had a drive behave like this once. Rather than trying to get
Windows to recognise it, I recovered most of the data using a prodct
called R-Studio <http://www.r-tt.com/> - looking at their website the
software should identify and cope with pretty much anything, They've
a downloadable demo so you can see if it will work for you.. I used
it on a FreeBSD drive, via a USB-IDE adapter on a WInXP laptop, so a
old Windows drive should be a doddle.
