External Harddisk Please state your problem here
I have a harddisk (750GB) for 2 years already and now suddenly it asks me to reformat. Is there a program taht makes me able to view all the files in it and copy them into another drive I have? Because I have a lot of stuff I need to get off of it before I do the reformat.

Thanks

External cases pretty much ARE how you get files off a bungled hdd. If it's demanding you reformat something is very wrong, filesystem errors are BAD.

Hmm, I can't even open the HDD on Linux :/

Filesystem errors are BAD shit, if that dies you're basically left with a paperweight until you reformat it. If linux wont work with you then you're basically fucked.

Well, I tried linux (again today) and it still just doesn't show anything.
But the thing is, programs in windows DO show the stuff inside it.

Here are the programs I used:
-Recover My Files
-GetDataBack
-UFS Explorer PRO

All 3 of these I can get my data back, but EVERYTHING has a name like "Recovered_X" instead of the original name and folders. And I don't want to rename 38,447 files (160GB).

I have used the trial version of UFS Explorer Standard Recovery 4.4 (Not the PRO) And this program does show the original names + folders, but I can only copy 64kb files, and not bigger (because of the trial version) But I really can't afford a license...

Odd.
