Only an hour and a half! I had a glitch while renaming files on an external HDD last week. The first go at recovery using ParetoLogic's Data recovery program stopped after 16 hours, with nothing recovered and no explanation other than a 25-digit error code. Then I went back to simple old, good old chkdsk: that took three days! However, it did the job and recovered all 62480 files from the drive, properly named and restored to the correct folders. But I still think I should replace that drive, which is now four years old...

I've got my final print portfolio for school due in two weeks. Working on one of the images to make everything *PERFECT* before I send it off to the lab for printing, I kept getting these strange errors in Photoshop "No more virtual tiles can be allocated". Took a while to figure out my hard-disk was FULL! I ended up moving my image files from 2010 & 2011 except for the small number of files I need for school off onto the NAS as a temporary solution. But it took 4 hours to copy them over. I just gave up and went to bed. And now the disk cleanup is going to take another hour (according to Windoze estimate). It's been running for half an hour already. Reading PDML while I wait for the computer to finish fooling around. I sure would like to get back to work. I've got a bit to get done yet before I can go out looking for more portfolio quality images this 4th of July weekend. ----- No virus found in this message.
