Sounds like the drive is failing. You might be able to retrieve the files with OnTrack's EasyRecovery (best I've ever used) but it won't perform miracles. <br />

If this doesn't work, you'll need to have the files profesionally recovered.<br />

Have a portable drive which has many files on it from Wife Boss who of course has not backed it up. &nbsp;Now when you plug the harddrive in it show the file structures and the files, but when you try to access them you get errors like doesnt exist or operation failed. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Tried some different software packages... but so far not luck on finding a decent one.<br />
<br />
Pretty important files, any ideals???????????

Files on hard drive show they are there, but not accessible

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
