[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1631684, member: 282115"] Hey guys. So I managed to copy all the data across to another drive (900GB of it) Iv tested a couple of files (from the data on the backup drive) and they seem to be functioning fine. The drive is also mounting and behaving normally now! I guess i will still Verify/Repair the disk. Would it be safer to just reformat the drive & copy the data back onto it? I take it this will completely reformat the directory structure which you guys say is likely broken? Ps, I always format my drives as OSX extended journaled which I take it is a good thing in this case.. [/QUOTE]
