To what end? I think you've now got an indication of a problem
somewhat more serious than some software dreaming up crazy
file permissions and timestamps.

I would now be looking at rescuing everything you can from the drive
without prejudicing any backups you already have. Meanwhile I'd be
trying to determine the source of this corruption. It's rather
worrying that you've had both internal and external drives
affected. That's outside my experience.

Cheers,
David.
