I doubt that we are dealing with separate issues, it is the same problem across both drives and happened simultaneously. I also doubt this is a firewire or power issue because, again, one of the partitions is working fine (read/ write/ running apps). Aside from that, these wouldn't even power up if they had to draw power from firewire? I've never heard of that. All of the partitions show up in Disk Utility but are unmounted and unable to mount.
I am not a hard drive guru like some of the people on here with expertise regarding formatting and whatnot, but my guess is that a system file is corrupted? Is this really that rare of an issue? Should I go drop a c-note and buy DiskWarrior? Thanks Ken On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 6:48 AM, insightinmind <[email protected]>wrote: > Another thread talked about the Lacie's "power bricks".
