[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1076896, member: 46727"] Your post is at best difficult to read. When posting, be brief and to the point and for goodness sake use paragraphs! Realize that folks who read these forums and provide help do it on a volunteer basis and because they want to help. So help us to help you. OK? Now to your problem: 1 TB drives loaded with data are going to take a long time to back up and\or copy - transfer files. If the drive was somehow damaged, you may be able to get your files back by the use of specialized software. Disk Warrior is fine, but not the best for reclaiming data from a non functioning hard drive. I suggest downloading a trial copy of [URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue 3[/URL] and use it to see if it can get your files back. If it can, buy a license. ($99) As for possible lightning damage, it would seem to me that the damage would have been more extensive if it occurred. In other words, damaging your machine not just the hard drive. However, I suppose it is possible. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
