[QUOTE="Noels, post: 688813, member: 49942"] NateL, Have you checked Disk Utility to see how much space is used on the external? If it's full capacity, you have indeed lost it all, but if it has about 200MB left on it, the files are still there. If there are still files occupying space, they should be recoverable - sounds like the drive is still OK if you can add files. I'll look for a recovery option for you... Noel EDIT: I searched through Google and there are several programs you can download free to see if it can find your files, but before you can recover them, you'd have to buy the program :o But at least you could go through the different options and try them out, see if your files are really there. Here's the page I found: [URL="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&q=free+recover+mac+hard+drive+files&btnG=Search"]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&q=free+recover+mac+hard+drive+files&btnG=Search[/URL] Good luck, Nate [/QUOTE]
