i have a hard rive which i think has failed, it takes a long time to mount to the laptop and when it does and i try copy files to my new drive i bought just to be safe it says "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “A r l o M a r k a n t o n a t o s - Photography.mp4” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)"

I've been quoted 2000 Rand to fix this, but I'm a student and don't have R2000 just lying around, is there anything i can do?
