External hard drive recovery


so upon plugging in external hard drive time machine backup , bunch of other files, wasn't mounting finder @ all. after running through bunch of things in disk utility, did mount finder , can see base of hard drive , no further content in folder , can't transfer either. disk utility @ point, running me through circles tests drive. else can recover data? also, think @ genius bar since stopping apple store in next few days buy new hard drive.
 

do chance have second mac try drive on?

might try (no promise of success):
- power mac way off.
- disconnect problem drive
- restart mac, finder
- re-connect drive (does mount on desktop?)
- if doesn't mount, wait while (say, 5 minutes). finder try repair drive has difficulty mounting.
- happen?
