Well, my cat got behind my desk when I was away and then I heard a BANG!!!!!!!! and my cat knocked my trusty 80 GB HD off of the top of my desk. I have recovered all data on it (all 25 GB, which was amazing because he knocked it from 5 feet off the ground!  ), and had to endure 2 hours of the most god awful noise in my life.
I have the enclosure from it and am looking for a new HD under $100 thats a good size compared to the old one. The old one was a western digital and worked fine for 4 years, so any ideas?

Part of the space is eaten up by the filesystem. Some manufacturers also round bytes to 1000 instead of 1024 which can affect what you get out of it...

ok, I'm getting Error code -36 when copying data from my recovered data, I know some of the data is most likely corrupt, but I get the same error when copying from my HD (not recovered data and the internal one). What does that code mean?
