Hey I've been having a hard time finding any posts on the topic, does anyone know where I should go to get my external HD restored? It's a Samsung 300GB which now for some reason won't mount on my mac.
I get an "invalid Node Structure" when trying to repair it with Disk Utility. It has some really important things on it that I had put there in case of my macbook crapping out :s.

It may be irreparable but I'm going to buy another big one anyways I'm hoping I could just load the salvageable stuff onto.

Thoughts?

Appreciated^^

Take it to your local PC shop that speaks English. They have software you don't have access to to fix it. They'll probably have to do an FDisk.

When my HD in my mac died, I went to JR Mac. Maybe it's more than what you need, but they will know mac stuff. They asked me if I wanted them to try to restore the crashed drive, but I said no, as the only important thing was photos. Anyway, I recommend them. This was before macs were becoming popular in Korea. I've been seeing them a lot more, so maybe any old place can now work on mac stuff.

Thanks a lot. I'll search out a local PC shop first to see if they can help me or not before going to a mac specific shop, as it's just an external I need restored and nothing in my actual macbook. It might have to wait a bit though cause I guess I'll need to have another HD to move the restored stuff to?

Yeah- I found a person that helped me out when my HDD died..

you should have a clean HDD to transfer all that stuff to. Buy it yourself, that will be best Idea

How much did that cost you?
Anyone else have any idea how much I can expect to pay? I'm sure it depends on what exactly is wrong with it but a ballpark figure would help.
Thanks again.
