 Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 8:41 pm Post subject: Removable hard drive won't mount |
 |
|
Hello all -
I added an HFS formatted removable hard drive to my Power Mac G5. It is a USB drive with Classic files. Things were flakey, so I rebuilt the desktop via Classic preferences (running Tiger, of course). The drive disappeared from the desktop. "About this Macintosh" shows the drive present, as does the Disk Utility. Upon Verification, Disk Utility reports it needs repair. No surprise there, but upon repair, the attempt can't be completed.
Repair reports "Invalid Key Length" and "Volume check failed." What next? Don't tell me to get the backup--this is the backup. My mistake was to do anything before copying my files off, but I didn't think this was a bad choice at the time.
Can anyone help?
....best, Capt N |

Wow, Mike -- that was fast. My Disk Warrior is the classic version, It doesn't see the drive. Do you think the OSX version might/will?
Thanks, Captain N (another Michael)

the classic version as in 2.x??? not only will that not work, it could potentially make things worse if you manage to get it to see the drive.
a lot has changed since then, particularly with tiger and leopard, and the recent versions are *much* faster. |

Seconded. Disk Utility can only fix so much. |
