Hey guys, my external hard drive has all past images on it and all my college work, today it stopped working, it powers on but no icon on my macbook. I have tried different cables etc to check its not that and eventually had a look in Disk Utilities - it comes up and is recognised however when i "Verify Disk" it says: "Verify and Repair disk FREECOM HDD
** /dev/disk2s1
** Phase 1 - Read FAT
Unable to read FAT (Input/output error)
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 non HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
"
I have tried repairing it but it always fails, i want to know if theres a way i can get all my stuff off it and then format it. I've tried using the "New Image" icon but it says "input/ouput error" so wont do it?! Any ideas you lovely mac people!? Please reply ASAP i have a project due in tomorrow!
