Dawn 807

Thanks Richard, I'll check this out. Appreciate the info.

Thanks Abjure but this probably won't work for me. As a matter of fact, this one has no power supply . . . the USB and PC are the power. Appreciate the info.

I would really appreciate some help and advice. Several months ago my external drive suddenly got corrupted (or something). There are so many files on there that I don't want to lose. Since then, I purchased another external desktop hard drive that is going to stay on my desk and I will copy files from my FreeAgent periodically so this doesn't happen again. Anyway, I am trying to do a scan on this drive and I get several different errors when I try to recover. It's either "drive needs formatted (which I say NO, PLEASE!!!)" or else I get an the request cannot be completed because of an I/O error." I would REALLY appreciate input. Thanks so much Dawn P.S. Why won't it let me "safely eject" the drive too?!?!
