[QUOTE="xtr33boy, post: 357919, member: 29100"] So i'll try to make this short. I backed up my laptop onto an external hard drive. The external has 2 partitions hfs and fat32. The hfs is where I backed up all my data. I reformat my laptop and when I plug in my external drive to put my data back on, only the fat 32 partition shows up. I go into disk utility to try and repair the disk but it gives me a "invalid sibling link" error and will not fix it. I try to mount it and it doesnt mount either. I took it to the mac store and they told me if they used disk warrior that it may make things worse. I then took it to a recovery place and they wanted to charge hundreds of dollars that i just dont have. I am pretty sure all that happened was i unpluged or turned off the external before I "ejected" the drive and something got screwed up. I know there cannot be any physical damage. do you guys think that disk warrior will be able to fix the drive or am I taking a big chance at screwing things up even more? or is there anythign else I can try?
