You should plug it into a linux machine and see if it has any more luck, it's a bit less strict about the file system. But make sure to mount it read only, that's very important. You might also have more luck by removing it from the external hard drive case and plugging it in directly using SATA. PhotoRec is a tool which will scan the raw data for files, it's not 100% successful. Lesson learned tho: If it's important back it up more than once. Tarsnap is good for this. I back stuff up onto a ~7 quid a month 1TB server from OVH - http://www.kimsufi.com/uk/ It requires some manual setup but it's a lot more flexible..fujee wrote:My weeks old 2TB external hard drive, which I copied lots of precious music on to, including some stuff which I had no where else other than that drive is seemingly not wanting to play ball. It shows up in device manager, and appears in disk management.. but as an unknown disk. When I try to access it, I get messages saying 'the device is not ready'. Yet when I run a diagnostics on the HD it says it is working correctly? What the hell is going on, I've been scouring the net for solutions, nothing. So aggravating for someone with admittedly little patience. GAH.

Thats actually a very long time ago, bit weird to bring up, and the thread with me asking twoismers to borrow me money for rent would have been better example (a thread I no longer seem to be able to find) That one also turned out allot better!
A whole thread with angry rants and mine is the first one thats a bit harsh? I should work on my people skills.
I wasnt talking about anyone specifically, and I thought I made sure that was clear while writing....*slowly leaves thread*
