External Hard Drive Status

I was able to access my files through Linux (via Parallels Desktop), but then found that when I transferred them to my Mac partition, they were corrupted. It wasn't that big a blow, though, since I've learned to let go of my attachments to files, and thankfully, most of the ones on it weren't that important, or ones that I could re-download.

Only slightly disappointed, I was about to format my external drive, when I noticed something odd: I could still open some of the image files while in Linux. I tested a .pdf file by transferring it to a USB stick, and what do you know: I could still open it!

Encouraged, I'm now trying to transfer the files to my other hard drive. Here's hoping they work! Cross your fingers!
