Re: Verify/Repair Fail, Drive Genius also Fails
I think I wasn't clear. The DA I have has a Sonnet Tempo 133 card. What I replaced was the controller board on the hard drive. Are you saying there is a patch to fix this?

Verify/Repair Fail, Drive Genius also Fails
I decided to do routine maintenance on my system. One of the drives failed. It failed with both Disk Utility and Drive Genius. I think I know why. This drive was one of the drives that was damaged during my power surge. I replaced the boot drive and bought controller boards for this drive and the original boot. I copied the boot drive to the new boot drive and that has worked fine. This drive is a data drive with mostly my iTunes files on it. I replaced the controller board and put this drive back in the system, mainly because I couldn't afford a new drive and I have a backup of these files on a Go Drive. This is a 300GB drive. Reading Drive Genius shows this thing to have screwed up block allocation. I think it says it has 127GB and change capacity. Command I shows 279.34GB, 174.88GB available and 104.45GB used. I suspect the reason for the discrepancy is that I have the wrong controller board. I think I will have to break down and buy a replacement drive. I don't want to spend the money. Anyone have any other ideas? Mark Murphy -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
