Phil,
I've never seen the "ac/ble" message, but it sounds like the drive is corrupted and if you need to get files off of a corrupted drive, you could use a program called Restore2000. It costs $50 but may be worth it to you if you really need to get those files.
I was in the same situation a few weeks ago with a "SimpleTech' drive (piece of garbage) and ended up purchasing that s/w and it did what I needed... recovered all of my MP3's for a gig that night, so I wouldn't be limited to videos and karaokes like I was for the previous night's gig ;)

I've read on another forum sometime:
"Data that does not exists in 2 places, doed not exists..."
I have my music in 3 different drives anytime.

Phil,
I apologize for the incorrect URL. I googled it wrong and thought that I found the right result. I also apologize for not checking back sooner.
Anyway, here is the correct URL:
http://www.restorer2000.com
I hope your weekend is going well, but if you haven't yet recovered your tunes, then I am guessing it's not :(
Good Luck,

I hope this work, but as I read I notice a hardware problem and in there all these software couldn't save you. The people WITH a LAB for opening and changing the parts needed in order of retreive your information are who can recover successfully your HD.
And by the way, this post is in the wrong place because this isn't a VDJ bug.

True, if it is a h/w problem, then the software won't help you, but if it's just corrupted, then the s/w should be able to retrieve most, if not all of your files. It can even get your files back after you have formated your disk (in most cases) and files that you have deleted.
Another possibility is that te failure is with the external enclosure. In that case then, assuming the disk itself is OK, you can take the enclosre apart and get the hard disk out of there and plug it directly into your computer (probably just an IDE drive.)
If the failure is with the hard disk itself, there are companies, as was mentioned earlier, that can get the data from the disk, but that service can be quite expensive, and is usually only aimed at corporations that need to recover valuable, irrelaceable data.
Anyway, let us know how it goes and/or if you need any help.
