My old iMac g4 crashed about a week ago, i had someone pull my data of the mac hard drive and put it on an external. The external drive is and omega portable 500gig. When i plug my external drive into my iMac i can see all my stuff is there, the trouble is none of it will open. When i click to open a file a box opens saying "could not open ___ because it is either on supported file type or because the file has been damaged" (I've tried many different file types none of them will open). What can i do to fix this??

What format is the external hard drive using? NTFS? HFS+? FAT-32?

I just noticed you posted this same question twice. You only need to post one time - and then wait for an answer.

Regards.
