I turned on my Mac two mornings ago and one of my three internal 120 GB drives did not appear on the desktop. This is a brand new drive, put in only 2 weeks ago, and it worked fine until then. I could care less about the drive - I want to get the data off it safely.
I have tried TechTool Pro 4 but the drive doesn't even show up if I select Data Recovery. (Or anything else for that matter.)
DiskWarrior runs and then says it... "has successfully built a new directory...The new directory cannot replace the original directory due to a Mac OS services failure." Whatever that means... - and seeing as I'm running Panther - I am not certain DiskWarrior is up to speed with that yet anyway.
Here is what Disk Utility says about it, (and I'm running a dual 1GHz Mirrored Drive Doors G4, OS10.3.1):

Disk Identifier : disk2

Total Capacity : 111.8 GB (120,034,123,776 Bytes)

Disk Utility says this when I try to repair it. I tried selecting either the Device or the Volume, but the end result is the same:
Repairing disk for “120 Gig WORK”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking volume bitmap.
Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
Checking volume information.
Volume Header needs minor repair
Repairing volume.
The volume 120 Gig WORK was repaired successfully.
Repair attempted on 2 volumes
1 HFS volume repaired
1 volume could not be repaired
Note that it still knows the name I originally gave it: "120 Gig WORK".
