Thanks dude,

came across a piece of software to recover, ran a test onFriday, recoverd part of a video file (yeah), however it will take it 317hrs (13 days give or take) to do a full sweep of the disk  :whoops:

Have to buy it?

Lol   8-)

Using a trial at the min just to see if it finds anything, then I may "look" a little harder.  Worst comes to worst Ill buy it

Im not sure what to suggest next tbh.  Like I said, nothing so far that we have done should have caused this corruption.

That sounds bad!  The work we have performed so far will not have removed any data from the drive.

You need to "Find" this software : http://www.ufsexplorer.com/rdr_xfs.php
and that should recover everything.

Best piece of fecking software ever!!!!  Bought the licence and recoevered everything!!  Ye ha
