You run which OS on your mac?
Also, have you tried with another Drive if you have one? Does it appear in the Apple disk utility or SOS Disk?

if U r running os X create a new user, give it admin privledges . log into the new user and see if fw mounts then .
try having the drive off at start up and then turning it on after you have booted . also look for the drive with the disc utility if this fails buy your self a copy of DiskWarrior and boot up off the dw disk . boot up the dw application and rebuild the directory using dw . don't turn the suspect drive on till you have booted up off the disk warrior cd and opened the dw application . it should then appear in the drop down menu . you can then rebuild and check the rebuild before saving the new directory . just a cursory view to check the drive is all that is needed . I cannot recommend this application to highly. it will save you much grief . any body with a firewire drive needs it especially ,as sometimes after a hard crash the os will not see your firewire drive's directory and then dw will save you with the minimum of fuss . also if the worst happens (this has happened to me once in 4yrs) and your directory is destroyed beyond recovery AND YOU R A REGISTERED OWNER they will assist you over the phone to recreate the directory . i recently recovered a drive with all my mp3's some of which were not backed up using there services . this saved me endless grief over lost music . dw has a patented way of rebuilding and recovering directories that works for os 9 and X that other recovery tools cannot match . don't even bother with them for this type of usage nothing compares . it also includes a tool for defragmenting your hard drive which is very useful . as all drives become fragmented over time every mac user will need this dw at some stage it is essential to have it .if this sounds like a sales trip forgive me but this is a must to hav e Ce message a été modifié par gidfiddler - ven. 21 mars 2003, 06:35. |
