[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1905014, member: 38864"] Sounds to me like at the minimum, the enclosure should be replaced. Hopefully it's just that and the drive itself is ok. One thing you can try for laughs if you haven't yet is copy a known working file/video from your desktop to the external drive, then see if you can open the copy on the external. If it does open, well that may be evidence that the files on the drive are corrupt for whatever reason, but the drive itself is otherwise ok. If it won't open, then that's at least pointing to a hardware or file system failure. But really, I don't see any choice here... it's try a different enclosure and hope for the best, or write it off. Well there are advanced drive recovery software options like DiskWarrior and techTool Pro if it is related to the drive or file system that may be worth a shot, but trying a new enclosure first would be my suggestion.
