[QUOTE="uncleebenz, post: 1807796, member: 401300"] So yes, most of the files on my 2 tb external HD are my only copies as I only have 500 gb of flash storage on my macbook pro and try to keep it pretty free on storage to not get bogged down. So as you stated I'm trying anything and everything to transfer as much as I can off the what seems to corrupted external HD onto other external HDs. I am having some luck now using a different older macbook but still some files seem too corrupted to be transferred. I appreciate your research and terminal might be my option for attempting to transfer what files won't transfer easily. What are your thoughts of me trying to perform another first aid (using the older mac) on my external HD after I have transferred what I could and or trying a repair using a pc? I know that the pc route could cause some file deletion. Interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for your time! [/QUOTE]
