[Ti] Crashed external HD

[Mike Garner]

Hi

I used the Quick Format for 10 seconds and there was definitely an  
improvement. It still wasn't recognised but at least Disk Warrior got  
hold of it and started rearranging things. However, It crashed due to  
"an error".

I'm just wondering if it is worth formatting the disk and then  
running a utility? Madness?

I'm passed worrying about data loss. I have most of it on other  
sources, I just need to rebuild it.

Mike
