A. It sounds like your Master File Table has become corrupted. It could also be the enclosure as the other answer stated. Try his suggestion of removing it from the case and connecting it directly to your computer. If that does not work send it to a professional data recovery lab for evaluation. The major U.S. recovery labs are Gillware, DriveSavers and OnTrack. Gillware has an online estimate tool and offers free evaluations.. not sure the other two offer either.

Does anyone know another way to get them back? You would really help me out here
Thanks,

How to recover a files from Mac?
Q. I accidentally deleted some files. I also deleted them from the trash. Is there any way I will be able to recover those files. Its about 30 Gb and this is a video footage. Its very important I will appreciate any help.
Thank you
Thank you
A. There are plenty of tools available, but no free ones that I now of. Check out the tools under the "Data Recovery" section of this site: http://www.pure-mac.com/diag.html
Personally I'd recommend DiskWarrior if you can afford it, as it includes a lot of other tools to help if your hard disk or any data on it gets corrupted or your Mac won't boot. Also, if you're using Leopeard, make sure you keep regular backups to an external drive using Time Machine. If you're using Tiger, set up automatic backups with CarbonCopyCloner ( http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html ).
