    I think it is more of the fact it is a USB 2.0 device hooked up to a 8 year old desktop USB 1.0 port. But the process is finally complete and it looks like found everything I had on there and I have been able to pull it off the drive and move it to one of my internal drives on the desktop.

    I should have ran the scan from my laptop since it is equipped with USB 2.0 and it probably would have went much quicker. Nonetheless, Im glad it is done and it appears I have all my files back. So now Im in the process of formatting the drive so that I can move all the files back to it and pick up where I left off several days ago.

    And backup to a dedicated internal drive as well so this doesn't happen again. External drives are touchy, in my experience. A dedicated internal drive is what you want, and you can move it between PCs if its ever needed. Don't put all your eggs in one basic. Make plenty of copies of those eggs.

    I have one drive in the top of the closet that I put in once every few weeks. Back up all important data, and then return it to its electrostatic wrapping in bubble wrap in a shoe box.

    Glad you got it all, though.

    I'm planning on a RAID 5 in a dedicated machine, but that may be a little while.
