Ok, I have a laptop and a Toshiba 300GB EHD - its my 2nd EHD so I have all files from Jan 2009 and back - but all my recent files are on this EHD. I havent' been able to access the drive from my computer - it says that it needs to be formatted - and I know I shouldnt do that or I will lose all my data. (personal photos, scrapbooking pages, etc). I tried it on my mom's computer (XP) and I could open the EHD and it showed all my files and folders but I couldnt open the file (Like an Adobe Photoshop file or a photo). We tried copying them to her computer and kept getting a Cyclic Redundancy Check error (or something along those lines)
So...Any suggestions on how I can get those file off that EHD - I know I know, backup backup backup (but I was really good at backing things up till my CD/DVD seemed to stop working - any tips for that as well - LOL). But it would be REALLY GREAT if I could get into there and at least make copies of things...if the drive isnt usuable anymore I can live with having to buy another one - its the last 3 months of photos of my kids and my scrapbooking supplies that I would have a hard time living without!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
