EXTERNAL Harddrive problem
Howdy
I have a Lacie external harddrive. I think it is 1 TB. Anyway it doesnt get used alot and when I swiched it on today it took ages to appear in My Computer. I had a couple of random Messages from Windows saying I needed to re fromat it before I could use it.
The thing is I dont want to reformat it yet as there is a lot of valluable data on it. I can enter the drive via My Computer but when I try to copy it out the green progress bar doesnt seem to progress. I am trying to copy out a 166GB folder and it says it is going to take about 1 hour. It has said that for a while now and has only transfered 1.28GB in a half hour or so.
Am I in big trouble or is there something I can do to fix it long enough to get the data out.
Thanks
