Thanks, have ran the repair so will see what the outcome on that is. i do still have the original drive, I have tried to mount it as an unassigned drive but that has failed, not really sure on what the next step is. it wont mount to my mac..
Yep its moved every file to lost and found :(, its not the end of the world as i have the files saved elsewhere, just a pain and some not accessible under lockdown
