Thanks all. I actually was able to turn off the hard drive and when I turned it back on it tried to mount on my Macbook Pro. However, the Mac didn't recognize it and wanted to initialize the disk. I opened Diskwarrior and it displayed it as an unknown disk. I opted to rebuild the directory again. It took it awhile to attempt that as apparently my back-up hard disk is going on the fritz. Though it could not rebuild the directory, it opened the computer in a Preview mode and I was able to copy the files from it onto another drive.
