I have a new 1TB external drive... everything on the C is back up on it.
As to the 500Gig that crashed, it is up and fine and now I'm copying everything on it onto the TB as well.
It's possible I could "fixed" it myself had it not been for my eyes... which couldnt tell that there was a space between "Chkdsk" and "/f ." The friend who rescued me pointed that out... the chkdsk run fixed corrupted files and everything that was on the 500
has been restored. PHEW! Thanks for all the input, everyone! ann (all backed up and back up) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
