I have an external HD in a FW enclosure that has been working fine. It is only about 1.5 years old and has not had heavy use. A few times on my Quad when using it in the front FW port I get an error that the device was unplugged without ejecting it, this was not the case, I am not sure if I have a bad FW port. Anyway, I plugged in my HD and now nothing comes up on the desktop. In the system profiler it is there and can read the capacity of the HD, but no HD icon appears on the desktop. I tried it on my PB with the same results. I then removed the HD and placed it in a new enclosure thinking maybe there was some miscommunication. Nope, same thing. Any suggestions? I have vauable data on this particular drive and need to get ot off, but I can't acces it for some reason. Thanks.
UPDATE: I now plugged in one of my other drives and I can access it but whenever I try yo copy a file to my desktop I get this:
Operation could not be completed
I/O error -36
OK, Update number 3. Ran disk first aid on the drive and got this:
Disk Utility stopped repairing “Untitled” because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit
Verify and Repair disk “Untitled”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid record count
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
I have a feeling something got screwed up when the signal got interupted from my quad and the drive was ejected. I keep having eject issues with my desktop quad. I will eject the external drive, the icon disappears I wait a few seconds and unplug it, then I get the device removal warning saying I could have lost data for not ejecting it properly. OR I get that warning in the middle of working when I didn't physically eject the drive! I am gonna have to take my quad in for a look at Apple I think....
What gives?
