I've just tried that and yes I can write other stuff on and call up the files.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)
Just tried backing up again and it seemed to be working for an hour or so and then came up with the failed message again.

Is there a sector by sector disk checker on Macs?

Run disk utility on it and do a verify, but I'd guess the disk is bad.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)
I've done that and it finds no problems with the disk. I'll finish backing up my working files tomorrow and then see if disk utility turns anything up for the mac itself.

The issue backing up coincided with firefox corrupting which froze the mac up for ages each time I tried to run it but that has been deleted and reinstalled. I don't know if that was just a coincidence.
