Re: External HD / Firewire problem with Mac G4 Cube

2012-02-25 Thread Tim Martin
Diskwarrior has frequently rescued a disk for me in similar situations ;
recently a 2TB drive which became unrepairable by OS X utilities it built a
read only directory which enabled me to pull off  a TB of vital information
before I had to reformat the disk!

 I was working on my relatively unused external HD connected via Firewire
 on my Mac G4 Cube under System 9.2 and I am sure that I disconnected the
 drive too soon.  Since then the drive is no longer recognized, it asks me
 if I want to Format it or Eject it.  I check the drive under Mac OS X 10.3
 and I can see it using the Disk Utility but it does not allow me under
 First Aid to verify disk of even repair Disk.  The Drive sound ok, I have
 the feeling that the directory got 'broken' .  Any ideas on how to fix it?

 Thanks.

If the directories are damaged, DiskWarrior is usually the best tool to fix
them up.
But - AFAIK - you need to have the drive mounted, before using DiskWarrior.
And it seems Disk Utility doesn't allow you to mount the disk.

Can you test the drive on another Mac?
