RAW File System

[Pushead2]

Okay CP IT gurus, I'm in need of some help.

So back when I was a touring musician, my band had purchased a Lacie d2 - Triple Interface and it was used with Windows XP and OSX Tiger. Had all our photos, Pro Tools files, live videos from shows - the whole nine yards.

Going through some boxes in the garage, I found the hard drive, but it's not being recognized by Windows 7, 10 or OS Sierra. There are no drivers online available for it, the LaCie Update Tool for Mac doesn't work but I was able to assign it a letter on my Windows 7 laptop and now it's listed as a RAW file type.

I downloaded EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard to see if there were files on there and everything is still there, but it's $80 for a one-time licence.

Is there any other way I could extract the data from the hard drive? Perhaps find an old XP PC on craigslist? A trick to get my laptop to recognize the hard drive? Or am I stuck paying the $80 for the files?

I'll try today to check it out when I get a chance.

Is DiskWarrior free software?

It's not free. I believe it's $120. You could also find a cheaper price from pirate sources depending on your morality toward such things.

That said, I use it quite frequently at work to recovery crashed Mac hard drives that wouldn't otherwise boot or be recognized. I've used it to recover a ton of data for people.
