I have an older Mybook World that stopped running. No responce to any interaction with the button at all. I opened the case and found no visual damage. When I took out the drive and connected to a sata case it will run. Mac disk utilities shows partitions for each of my password protected usernames but, I cant read them. Is there a software that I can download to get access to the data, some kind of emulator or something? If not can I find an old worldbook and use that to translate the information?
