Finally my trusty old Maxtor 160 GB external 2.5" went kaput yesterday and whenever i connect it now, it says the drive needs to be formatted to be used again, i haven't formatted as i need the data on it. Anyway i can recover it ?
 
My suggestions from 1 to 5 - 1 to 5 - in range of their effectiveness.
