RE: how to recover data on bad MO disk?

We had a similar problem with our MO's that didn't have the Fujitsu label
(they were sold as Phillips). It turns out Fujitsu manufactured them anyway,
and they mentioned there was a certain flaw in the read properties of the
disk which they would have to repair to retrieve our data. We wanted to
avoid that route also, so we tried just about everything we could think of,
and found out a lot of new things about the FWB device mounter, but to no
avail. Eventually, we had to send them back for data recovery. I'd say go
ahead and send them in, and avoid many headaches later.

Dear flow users:

One coworker at the company I am working at is having a problem in
retrieving data from the bad MO disk. The MAC OS gave us an error of
type -127. The Disk First Aid 7.2.3 from Apple computer displayed an
error of a invalid node structure, 4, 1022. We can not recover the data.
Before asking help from data recovery service, we would like to hear 
some advices from the flow users. Thanks.
