Ok, i have a windows 2003 server, and the file drive, not the os drive, crashed last night and no longer mounts in windows. I hooked it to a g5 and it mounts but when I try to copy files off of it to the Mac it goes very slow and errors -36. Is there any way to repair this PC formated drive that is now attached to the g5 while booted in os x? Please help I really need to save some recent things that where added to this drive!

It's most likely an NTFS formatted disk, so no.

OS X should be able to read the drive and copy stuff from it and assuming the drive is failing mechanically, there is not much you can do.
Next time, make backups or update them more often.

LQX, you're a long-time member that should have known better than to put "HELP" and a gazillion exclamation points in a thread title. (I removed them.) Please re-acquaint yourself with our rules.

Also, I don't see how this is a PowerMac issue. The first thing you should do is use the harddrive manufacturer's tool to check the hardware. Once you have verified that the drive is physically ok, you can use one of the recovery tools for windows.
Do you have backups of your data?

you have developed "bad sectors" the more you try to boot the more damage you are causing to the place on which the data is stored. send it to data recovery specialists.
