That depends on what's wrong with your disk and why your first "some util" attempt failed. Vinum isn't a disk recovery tool, nor is it particularly for that purpose, so there's no particular reason to assume it will work better than your "some util". Of course, if you give some details, somebody may be able to help you. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
