Ok, my mp3 player nomad 40gb recently died on me , now the thing is that there was some files which are important to me and they were stored onto the mp3 player, now that i cannot get onto the player to get these, so i took it apart and i found that the hd in it was a fujitsu mht2040at laptop hard drive

is there anyway to recover these files?



Thanks Declan

Not sure if its possible.
You can pick up an external usb case for a 2.5" disk from ebay for about a fiver. This will allow the disk to be read sector by sector, but unless the mp3 player uses a standard file system it will be hard to piece the data together. With a bit of luck it will use a known file system that will be recognised by Windows, although Linux supports a wider range of file systems.
