[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 190181, member: 9512"] Analysis, did one over night & it found all the data but I could not copy it off before doing the repair as it was inside a machine with no other disks & I was running Ubuntu from a dvd. I have now found that it is the primary master file table that is corrupt, the backup is OK. testdisk will allow me to copy the data off the disk before doing the repair as long it seems as the disk is in the same machine i.e. has a native drive letter to the OS. I have now canibalised another desktop type machine and temporarily fitted the laptop SATA drive to this and it has space on the boot drive to copy the sata data too, also it is on the network so I can copy some and then move it off to a raid before going on to the next lot. Hoepfully it will work!!! Will keep you all informed! 36% ;) [/QUOTE]
