    My external enclosure killed my hard drive?

    On mine, after I did a Chkdsk (3 times until it found everything). So I ended up with about 25,000 .chk files. Knowing that most of them were music I just batch renamed them to .mp3 and let iTunes figure out what was not an MP3. It seemed to work pretty good, I think I have everything...some...
