[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1852129, member: 396914"] Trolle, at this point I can only think of one thing to explain your symptoms. The drive is dying. Stop mucking with it, get a replacement, try to rescue what is on it that you value (your photos, etc) and only after you have it all rescued that you can, you can run whatever diagnostics on it. But the drive is dying, so continuing to stress it with DU or TM is only driving it to the end faster. I don't know where you live, but if there is a store nearby that is open that sells external drives, I would go there today and get a replacement. [/QUOTE]
