I see that combo of firewire drive, Windows and corruption too often. So often that I advise owners to go back to USB 2.0 on such before the drives corrupt.
Once you get it back to USB 2.0 try recovery software like ZAR (Zero Assumption Recovery.)

ey guys,
working off an external hard drive, 250GB, its running through a firewire interface.
Ok, so today it was all working fine. I then tried to access the Drive (which is assigned the letter I) through My computer and the next thing I know a dialog box appears saying the following
"i: drive is corrupt or inaccessible".
What the hell should I do? Does it mean the hard drive is ruined as I only got it back from a warranty replacement about 6 months ago... The drive seems to be physically working fine, its not making any strange noises (clicking etc) and it is still spinning when accessed.
Does it mean all the data is gone? I read on this forum one of the things I can do is use runtime.org to recover?
Any advice will be well rewarded!
Cheers
