Crashed external hard drive

[Bob Kiger]

I've been editing a video for three months onto a LaCie
400GB FW800/USB hard drive. After a month the USB port
began failing with "Delayed Write Failure".

Switched to FW800 through CardBus adapter and worked for
two month when that connector started to show weakness.

Same "Delayed Write Failure". Went out and bought a
backup drive but before I could deploy the LaCie stopped
working. Now I get that "E:\ is not accessible. The file
or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

Is there a way that I can recover this drive?
Thanks,
Bob Kiger

I AM NOW RUNNING PC DOCTOR. It will take 7 hours due to
size of this drive. Can I expect that it has a chance of
correcting file and directory corruption?
