Ok tried that but no luck either, i do a short test and it stops at 10% or if i do a long test it stops after a while,
i really dont want to loose all the stuff on it. I was going to format the thing but when i was about to the system said that there was only 2Mb free so the information must be still on it surely.

so i didnt have the guts to, theres 5 years of my life on that harddrive damn it.
Any other ideas??
