I contacted drivesavers, and its going to be about 7,000.00US to get it fixed by them...which is not an option because i do not have that much in resources to get the drive fixed (i am a small business) Are there any other tools, etc. for freebsd that aide in rebuilding the fs table? Or am i basically not going to be able to repair the drive, and might as well move on and start salvaging what financial data i do have at the current time before the tax quarter is up....
