I would appreciate some helpful advice on the following please:
My pc has 3 x 80gig hard drives and whilst cleaning up and transferring some files from one of these drives yesterday it stopped reading, providing me with an error message "corrupt data".
Anyway I had 20 films on the drive, so I gave it a quick format (this allowed me to read the drive again) and I then used 'Recover My Files'. This is working fine and I am pulling back the files - although it's a lengthy process!
What I would like is some comments on whether the drive is on its way out or whether this incident may have been a one off problem? If so, I can do a full format once I have the files recovered and then use it again for storage.
Thank you
