I bought a new Lacie 400GB external hard drive to go along with the Lacie 125GB hard drive that I've had for a year which has given me no problems. I installed the 400GB hard drive (firewire) with no problems and moved all of my photo files onto it, intending to use it as a file for all of my photos until I get around to burning them to CD's or DVD's. This hard drive worked fine until I rebooted my computer and the drive refused to show up. I finally made it appear by going to My Computer and Manage Disks; but, in order to access or use the drive, the computer says that I have to reformat it. That means that all of the files that I have on that hard drive would be erased. I have most of them on CD's or DVD's as back-up; however, when I run the disk recovery programs that I have (Digital Image Recovery and Restorer), the only files that don't work are the RAW files that I had downloaded and not converted. That is the only source that I have for those. Any suggestions? I know, I should be using TMax and an M7, but the Jobo could have failed, too!! I'm leaving tomorrow to take photos in Kentucky and will be so glad to get away from this computer!! Tina P.S. I know there are several of you that I owe answers to, but I've been so frustrated with this computer, and it works so slowly when it's doing disk recovery, that I'll have to get back to you later. Sorry! Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
