Doesn't sound good. Just to throw my tuppence-worth of bad news into the mix, are your drives in USB enclosures? I really don't trust USB and hard drives, I'd guess maybe 80% of my drive failures have been that combination :-( I've currently got two drives, in USB caddies, that I want to try and salvage, and at some point soon I'll be buying an external eSATA adaptor - that does NOT enclose the drives to give free airflow. The other thing is, if you're having trouble reading the drive, could it be the USB bus that's playing up? Again, I'm very wary of large amounts of data over USB, it just doesn't seem to work for me.
