[QUOTE="uncleebenz, post: 1807801, member: 401300"] Yeah i guess you are right about windows as I'm not sure I formatted this drive to be able to be read by both (ExFAT), I had just read in a thread about trying to repair it through a pc but had forgotten about the format issue. I usually try to format them to be read by both but this one prob wasn't. So that leaves me with just the option to keep trying to transfer what I can while I still can and then maybe trying another First Aid if it will let me, but as you stated before, how much do I really trust this drive going forward. If I get most of everything off of it and wanted to wipe it would that fix the issue to be able to be used again? Would you trust it after wiping it going forward? [/QUOTE]
