Also, since Mac has many, many more thousands of files in the OS, it just creates more possible failure points. This overhead is the hidden files that get created for Windows to "see" the volume the way it knows how.

Also, trying to "mount" an HFS+ volume on a PC adds a lot of file system overhead, which can exercise the drive in ways that can be destructive when the drive was already having possible physical issues.
In this case, turning the iMac on in "target mode" and trying to mount the internal on another mac would have made it so you didn't have to take out the hardware first. We find that when you try and diagnose problems to use like hardware. We are open 24/7 for these types of calls and you can use this number for an automatic SpiceWorks discount: DS 98006. If you "need" the data and it's not seen easily, which is your case, then give us and others a call to get familiar with the recovery process by a professional. You have a 1 TB spinning drive that is probably getting worse, physically, so you won't want to try too much until you: Know that I do and have worked at a Data Recovery house for 22 years, so I'm going to suggest some, "best practices" to try and guide you through this. Does anyone have tools or tricks that you use or would recommend trying? If all else fails are there data recovery services that you have used and trust? I've looked around online at other tools to use but wanted to see if I could get some suggestions. In the past I've used hfsexplorer to pull data from Mac drives but nothing shows up when I select this drive. When I double click it I get a "Please insert media" message. It does not show how big the drive is or how much space is used.
When I plug it into my Windows laptop it shows up as the E drive as removable media. I then opened the iMac up and removed the hard drive to see if I could pull the data with a hard drive adapter. I tried to do a backup of the disk to an external drive but it failed. When looking at the drive through the disk utility it does see it as a 1TB drive with approximately 350 GB of it used. I took it home and powered it on and it went directly to the recovery tools. They are mostly concerned with recovering pictures. They said it recently became very slow and then it wouldn't boot up for them. I'm not positive on the model as I haven't checked but I'm guessing its a 2010 27 inch model.
