Two days ago my external hard drive gave me an error message saying I should repair or replace it. I've gotten a replacement, but when I try to copy my photo libraries it copies them for two hours, then says it can't continue because the drive is corrupted, and then nothing at all is copied. I can't open the files because they have become read only.
What can I do to try to recover my photos? This is the only copy I have of most of them because there were too many to keep on the Macbook hard drive. I know that I should have duplicate copies, I just didn't have the money for multiple drives/cloud subscriptions. Anyway, just trying to make sure I do everything I can to get back what I can, and my searches so far haven't turned up anything that seems to apply to my specific problem.
