I have a mac powerbook 150 circa 1994 which was an odd
beast for apple
at the time as it used an IDE drive to help reduce the cost. I have
been using this machine to run MIDI recording software until recently
when the hard drive has had some sort of failure, either software or
hardware, I'm not sure which yet. The result is that when the machine
attempts to boot, it does not recognize the formatting on the disk. I
would like to try to recover the data (if possible) before re-formatting
the drive, and I've heard that a program call disk warrior might be
the solution. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on this?

For that vintage of a Mac I'd look at the right version of Norton Utilities
for the OS you're running or maybe a suitably old copy of TechTool. As
DiskWarrior is only on V3, I don't think it is old enough to support a
PowerBook 150.
