[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1643954, member: 175845"] From your description, that drive is almost kaput and a lot of the directory already is. I'd backup as best you can and then use DiskWarrior and recover all that you can at this point, and be thankful that you even have DiskWarrior available. After recovering all that you can with DiskWarrior, your next step would be to try Data Rescue, but recovery may be dubious. [/QUOTE]
