Hi a user from another dept. contacted me about a 100 mb ZIP disk he wants
to recover files from.  The files contained are genetic sequences.  I've got
a little experience with that equipment, so I tried seeing if a 250 mb USB
ZIP drive would recognize the disk it wont.   He says windows asks if the
disk should be initialized as it doesn't see it as formatted.   I saw the
same thing happening when I tried.

From what I understand head misalignment in those drives was a problem
inserting your zip disk in one drive after another.

I tried using get data back and all of the other data recovery techniques I
know with a USB 250 drive which is all I have.   Get data back could not
recover anything. 

Has anybody out there dealt with similar problems?  Any suggestions other
than sending the disk to Iomega Data Recovery.
