Hi

Please do not type in capitals - it is poor forum etiquette and is considered as shouting.

If the hard drive is dead then there no easy, quick or inexpensive method of recovering them - unless you want to spend a large sum of money using a Data recovery specialist to attempt recovery.

Do you have any backups of the beats? If not then you will have to source them again.

Top notch, I can try to help. These beats you are speaking of, are you talking about Acid Pro loops and packages? If so, simply re-download them from Magix.com from within your account. You download the Acid Pro package.

Ya thats aweful! I lost an entire hard drive with client's stuff on it!! I can't remember the software but it was about $75 bucks and it decoded the crashed hard drive. I was able to get some stuff out of it but majority was ruined. Now I have a backup of a backup.
