I have an external firewire drive that was divided into three partitions. After months of use, my 8600 can no longer mount one of the partitions. At startup it declares it unreadable and asks if I want to reformat the partition, which of course it sees as a drive.
I gve tried Norton, DiskWarrior, TechToolPro, FWB Toolkit, Anubis Utilities, and anything else I can think of to mount this partition. to no avail. Will anyting mount it? Additionally, I want to backup data from the other two partitions, so that I can reformat the drive as one partition. When I attempt to copy data to another firwire drive, I get drive erros. Does this portend something more sinister than a corrupt directory, like an immenent hardware failure?
