Sage advice, but I do not have a 250GB drive laying around empty and there is no way I can fit the recovered data from the nearly full drive onto my also nearly full 61.4GB drive.
Fortunately there is not any data on there that is super-critical (although loss is always bad). My concern is getting the drive back into a usable state, and if the data that was affected is lost that is ok. Even if I lose 5-10GB of data it is still a drop in the bucked compared to the whole 250GB.
Is there a tool that will search down the corrupted areas on the drive and allow the option of not even trying to restore the data but to just fix the file system?
