| 545304 | 2007-05-01 22:54:00 | It seems to be copying fine, got 130gb on the go now. Wrote to FAT32 fine too. |

| 545305 | 2007-05-02 01:17:00 | OK, good. once that is done, run Seatools and see if that pickes anything up, if not reformat it and keep stuff that you wouldn't mind loosing on it for a while... till it builds up your trust again :p | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 545306 | 2007-05-02 11:18:00 | Well, I already went about reformatting it and moving all the data back, I do remember having this problem in the past (a long time ago with a different drive) and it turned out to be Windows giving me ****. I think. Anyway, all is well now that I have it all back, cheers for all the help guys. :D |

| 545307 | 2007-05-02 11:39:00 | Just RUN SEATOOLS on it!!! a HDD will (if you are lucky) give strange signs of failure before it actually fails. it is possible that the drive is NOT OK and could be a matter of time before it does go. So if you value your data RUN SEATOOLS | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
