Are you actually able to even see the drives? 

When you 

#fdisk -l 

- what do you see? 

(assuming of course that when you say "dd" you tried using linux)

Subject: 5.25 Inch Disk Data Recovery

Hi all,

I would appreciate any help in trying to resolve a problem I am having.

I am trying to recover data from some 5.25 inch disks.
 They came off an older Apple system. (Apple 2?).

I have tried using dd, Ghost, Encase, FTK, Winhex and Norton Utilites to
view/image these diskettes without any success.

It is not clear to me if there is still valid data on these disks.  My
experience has shown me that data on a 5.25 inch can get corrupted over
time.  Does anyone know if the tools above could successfully read these
disks?  I am using a 1.2 Mb drive.  If these tools can't do the job, does
anyone know of a definitive way to get at this data using an x86 or Sun
system?

Thanks all,

Sety
