[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1634490, member: 56379"] My definition of "high expectations" for recovering files from a crashed hard drive is...expecting to be able to have ANY access to the HD or being able to even recover one file! Usually when folks have a crashed HD...it's basically a paperweight/doorstop. The fact that you do have access to the HD...and seem to be recovering at least some info..puts you wayyy ahead of the curve.:) Of course maybe calling this HD "crashed" is not the proper term. Maybe it's a "failing HD". - Failing HD = Cracked raw egg. - Crashed HD = Egg got run over by a car! ;);) - Nick [/QUOTE]
