[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1631489, member: 282115"] Thanks for such a quick response. I'm currently copying all my data across to another drive to create a backup. Couple of questions; 1. Will the data on the Seagate now possibly be corrupt? How will I test for this? 2. Could the data on the Seagate corrupt the data on the drive I am backing up to? 3. I'm not sure exactly what I was doing on Dec 30th; What exactly do these lost+found files mean? Does it mean other related files are broken? 4. How can I find out what those lost+found files are are? 5. Is there any way of identifying what I was working on when those lost+found files were created? (eg through Terminal) 6. Once I have backed up and reformatted the Seagate, is there any way of testing it to see if it still has any issue / will create problems for me in the future? 7. Finally, if the Seagate IS corrupt and I need to do Data Recovery on it, is there anything I should or shouldn't do with it between now and Data Recovery? Sorry for all the questions. Freaking out a little.. [/QUOTE]
