[QUOTE="Fxguy, post: 1060551, member: 159568"] [b]Backups[/b] Yeah, I guess I am learning the hard way that now that drives are so cheap, I should pop for the extra drive and store the valuable stuff in a RAID setup. I can't remember what I formated the drive in, but I thought since I had plugged it into a PC at one time that that might have been the problem. I tried to read it in Vista (via Parallels) with no luck. I think I formatted the drive as HFS+ but I can't remember. I am however having some luck with Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft Engineering. The Quick Scan found nothing but the Deep Level scan I believe has found all my files (at work right now and the scan started last night and was going to take 9 hours). It found several thousand MP3 files I had stored on the drive before I went to bed. So hopefully when I get home I will find I just need to purchase that for $99 and can recover, then just reformat the drive and purchase a new enclosure, or RAID it. Thanks Fxguy [/QUOTE]
