Default Saving my files moving VERY slow, possibly not working

Hello. My third internal hard drive recently went corrupt on me. It still shows up in My Computer and I can still access some of the folders in it, but my Music folder is inaccessible (I was transferring my music from a smaller drive to this larger drive when everything went bad). This has some very important rare stuff that I am trying to recover, as well as many custom images. I could rip all of the music off of my iPod, but then it would all be in a different format, and a lot of the music at a lower bitrate, so I'm trying to avoid that (I'd also lose all my custom artwork).

Anyways, this program (Recover My Files) seems to be working great so far. It found my Music folder and everything in it. The only thing is, when I start actually saving the files, it just hangs on one file indefinitely (and I've stopped it and tried different files and it does the same thing).

When I first started the save I got one music file relatively quick (and it played and everything, things were looking good). As soon as it made it to the next file it hung on me for about half an hour. I tried on a different file, and it's been hung for about 45 minutes now.

Any idea why this might not be working? I initially did the big, complete search of the drive, but that was going to take 6 days so I stopped the search, and when it did the second stages of the search, it found everything on the hard drive pretty quick.

I don't know if I should search again using some different type of search, but I was confused as to what option to use because these files are not accidentally deleted, or missing from an accidental reformat.

EDIT: It seems like it is only certain files. I tested with some jpegs, and I was able to recover 3/4 of a set :\ The ones I recovered were saved almost immediately, the one that didn't just hung indefinitely. It also can't be previewed. Any fix for this?

Ha, solved my own problem. After restarting and doing a Fast Format Recover, it found all of my files, and quickly recovered them. Thanks a lot for the great program!
