[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1831160, member: 396914"] Terminal, also called the Command Line Interface, or CLI, is a very powerful tool, and one not to be used by a novice carelessly. Some commands that look "simple" can do major damage. The command you showed was to copy, which is relatively safe to use and from the look of it, should work. If it does ANY damage, it will be to the destination drive, not the source, so that's good. The one challenge you still will have to address is that the source drive will still have lots of defective files on it, so it will probably require a full format to get to a usable state. [/QUOTE]
