Yup.
I'm guessing the fact that I kept the other multipliers on auto allowed them to increase when they really shouldn't and messed up my sata hd.
Fortunately, it was only one drive that was corrupted.

I recovered all the data using "File Scavenger".
"RecoverMyFiles" takes forever to scan and then lists the files with random names. Not a good option for 250 Gb of files. I wonder if RecoverMyFiles is better than File Scavenger when the data has been deleted and overwritten.

Anyway, lesson learned.
