My problem is this: I moved my Maxtor 250 external drive (host drive for iTunes and iPhoto) and upon reconnecting and switching on it froze my mac. I had to force shut down and restart. When I restarted all the info on the extrernal disc was seeming gone, vanished. The drive was properly ejected and switched off prior to moving.
I ran Data Rescue and found thousands of files (iTunes and iPhotos), all unnamed. So the info still exists but it seems the directory has been corrupted. Or should I say, that's how in my laymans terms I see it. Perhaps the problem is something different?
Is it possible to recover the directory or am I faced with a really daunting task of sorting through thousands of files...!
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
