if you want a partition recovery, get a program for that. partition magic is great for backups, reparations and the like.
I don't want to miss out anything and then feel terrible for being so stupid and forgetting. Earlier this week I found a folder I'd completely forgotten about that I made ~6 months ago and stored writing that I don't want to lose in.

2. No, the size of my internal HDD is ~750 GB. The sum of the size of my files is 500 GB. Actually, come to think of it, It may be 500 GB left. I forgot if I subtracted or not, so I gotta check; it's that screen that says 'Local Disk C: ___ GB free of ___ GB'

Anyway, the reason why it's slow is because it's the way external HDDs work. The USB port limits the speed of the transfer depending on what type it is (2.0 or 3.0) or if it's SATA.
500 GB worth of files. Internal HDD is something like ~750 GB capacity.
