Ok so here’s what happened…i’ve had my 750 gb passport with me since august and…two days ago it took forever to recognize it…now it always takes forever to recognize it and when i try to open any video file it freezes, takes forever and when it finally opens it freezes again and that’s the way it is…so i tried to copy all to another drive but it freezes and when it finally decides to start copying it says it will take like hundreds of hours…and when i try the first aid in disk utility doesnt work…I NEED HELP…I DONT WANT TO LOOSE MY FILES :(…and it sent me a message that i need to backup
Hi dude, it seems your drive is degraded… Since Repair on Disk Utility won’t work, I can only suggest data recovery software…
You could try TestDisk since it is free (And yes, it works on Macs as well) on good will.
Best of luck.
