What do you mean by "trashed"?
Have you run any hardware diagnostics on the "trashed" drive, such as
those by the drive manufacturer? For example:
http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/
Are you trying to use the "trashed" drive?

The /bin directory appears to have been corrupted somehow. With Knoppix
I could gain access to all of the other data but was unable to access
/bin. I don't know why this happened and that worries me. I tested
everything during reformatting and installation and found nothing wrong
with the drive. I'm not too worried because I have a complete backup
system. Of course I am having trouble with the restore. The data's all
there on the backup disk but BackupPC only restored the directories and
none of the data. I am trying to create a tar file and manually transfer
the data across but am having similar problems. The documentation for
manually manipulating BackupPC is obtuse to say the least.
