[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 906409, member: 21908"] If you have a USB to IDE adapter you can plug it in another computer and see if it opens and pull files off. You could also try to reformat it this way too. The system may just be FUBAR and a reformat may straighten out the drive, otherwise the systems just so messed up that it want work but the drive is still ok. You want know till you run some disc repair app on it or just nuke it and start over. [/QUOTE]
