Maxtor 80gb external FireWire drive will not mount in Panther (10.3.4). I probably had one too many less than graceful disconnects at a few times in the past and have corrupted the volume control structures.

Disk Utility cannot repair the drive as it spits out the message in the title of my post.

Do you all think Diskwarrior will fix this problem?

Agreed. DW fixed some for me.

DiskWarrior could not fix the problem. I'm thinking the drive has a mechanical problem.

Oh well, no more Maxtor drives for me as the failure rate is now 2 of 2 for 100%.

UPDATE:

After running a directory rebuild again, it looks like DiskWarrior has indeed come through.

I am backing up the drive now.
