Firewire Question I am currently have a Beige DT G3 Mac and a Mac PPC 9600 with CPU upgrade XLR8 ZIF G3 / 400 MHz with Mac OS 9.1 installed which has been running quite well and each has two internal SCSI hardrives installed, each with OS 9.1 and each with DiskWarrior 2.1.1 and TechTool Pro 3.0.9 installed for cross checking and repair of the HDDs. I recently installed PPA PCI Firewire cards in each, and I have created an external Firewire drive consisting of a PPA Firewire enclosure containing a Western Digital, IDE, Special Edition, 80 GB HDD, which was immediately recognized by the computers with the hard drive icon appearing on the desktop. It also would hold data files which were openable. Since Drive Setup of Mac OS 9.1, won't partition a Firewire drive, I got a friend of mine to reformat and partition the firewire HD using OS X, into 4 approximately equal sized partitions of 18+ GB each with HFS+. It all seems to be OK and the FW drive partitions check out as without problem using Disk FirstAid 9.1 and TechTool Pro 3.0.9. When I run the DiskWarrior 2.1.1 Graph of the FW partitions either from the internal SCSI HDDs or from the DW 2.1.1 CD, I get the message:
"A graph of the Disk named "Untitled 1" cannot be created because existing directory damage has been detected. Please rebuild the directory of the disk named "Untitled" Error:( 2401, - 60 ) When I then run the Rebuild, The rebuild proccess takes place and gives the following result: Directory was successfully rebuilt and replaced. This disk is a Pure Mac OS Extended disk Where Firewire (V 1.2) Then when the Graph is run again the first message is repeated, and when Rebuild is repeated, the second message also repeats. I don't know why the Graph test will not work, especially since I am highly dependent on DiskWarrior to keep the Mac in good function. Is this a Firewire problem or some other malfunction? One possible cause, I have wondered about, is whether the positioning of the jumpers on the WD IDE HD could be at play. I couldn't find how they should be set for Firewire, so I put the jumper for Master. Could that be at play here? Any one with experience here? Any help appreciated.
