    bad partition

    nah, i tried that already. I did however download a program called iRecovery. It is the trial version and after taking a long time to scan the partition, it will allow me to copy over one folder off that partition at a time.

    PhysX Cards

    As far as I know, City of Villians has support for it which is a game I play. Cryptic is a development partner with Ageia so they created CoV with support and will add it to City of Heroes in an update.
