Powermax error code

[fatpete]

Hi!
Can anybody tell me what this error code means:

S53, encountered when running Powermax on a Maxtor 1.4 Gb.

I need to retrieve the data on this drive, very important.

Thanks,
Fatpete

A 1.4GB drive, wow that is old. I have lost jumpdrives that hold more data than that.

You may need to use the retail/registered version of GetDataBack from:

I Know....I don't give squat for the actual physical drive, it's the data (bar codes data) that I want. Actually the drive will sometimes allow boot (splash screen win95) then stops and says cannot write to c:, access denied. There are no password that I know of. Running Powermax for old drives gave me that eror S53. If I knew what it meant, I could probably work around it.
Thanks

How about putting the drive in another PC as a slave and copying the data over?

[fatpete]

did that...but instead of openning windows explorer, it closes it.
So I set up another computer with a celeron CPU, Win98, and hoping to be able to open it before I put it to the old remedy (on ice)

Actually, I only want to know what this error S53 really means. Been to Maxtor and can't get anything from them. (or Seagate)

I can't find any info on it.

Thanks Guys and Dolls...
I'll try to pull another magic trick out of my bag, and I'll post it here....if it works...

It's easy to grin,
When your ship comes in,
and life is a happy lot.
But the one who's worthwhile,
is the one who can smile,
When his shorts creep-up in a knot.

And ladies and gents, mine really did this time.
