had problems with a virus before, and in order to get to the problem i had to close some .exe files, Unlocker did the job, and i still use it (like in you case).

btw, i will check out the links that worked for your drive. If you got your hd fixed, maybe there's still hope for my old one.

Cheers for the Link Allan. I will check it out.

Luckily i've not had to use that software again, but it is ready and waiting just in case.

A little late now like but if anyone is interested I have an iso image of Hiren's Boot CD vol 10.2, which may well help in such circumstances...

I had this problem once aswell. Are your files still ok? Because when I did a recovery from the disk, some of the audio files were glitching... which kinda sucked.

I used NTFS getdataback back then...

I'm glad your problem got fixed though, 700 gb is a whole lot to lose :s

All the files were perfect. The drive itself was fine and now works perfectly after a format and disk check.

It just depends if you drive is on it's way out or becomes corrupt in any way.

Ah good to hear I hope that it never happens to me.

You should never let your drive get that close to being full if it has that much important data, I'd say 75% is pushing it. Plus your data is never gone, until it has been literally written over with new data. it's still there just switched off.
