Recovering data from corrupt firewire disks

Hi all

This may be a bit off list but I don't know where else to ask ... The
firewire lists doesn't seem to be the relevant place.

I've had a firewire port "go bad" and its taken a number of external
lacie firewire drives with it (SE2100s).

Normally when a firewire drive goes bad I can recover with Disk Warrior
or TechTool but not in this case.

The drives appear (correctly identified) on the firewire bus in System
Profiler but the Finder immediatley says the disk is not formatted and
asks me to "eject" or "initilaize".

If I eject the disk then the disk utils can't find it.

I even tried force quitting finder to get around the 'eject or
initialize' dilemma and then trying to scan for the volume in tech tool
- no good either ...

Any ideas or suggestions?

Is there any chance I will be able to scavenge any data from the drives
if I do intialize them ... ??

TIA

Alastair
