The disk drive had been compressed, so all was wrapped in a single file.
File had been corrupted, so Ive lost everything. ( I tried partition magic,
Wininternals and 2 other professional products to repair the problem) Days
of ripping cd collection again on the horizon.
2 lessons,
1) don't trust external disk drives that aren't dedicated for the job
2) don't trust compressed volumes.
Maybe i should have taken the drive to the police suspecting it had belonged
to Michael Jackson, they'd probably been able to restore the data ;o/
