Last night I noticed my MenuMeter not starting on startup so I tried doing so manually. My original Tiger install stated that there was a disc error. I thought it random (I didnt think it unusual at the time, I guess spending way too much time fixing Windows machines of late made me numb to computer errors) so I just decided to shut down my PowerMac and slept. The following day my Mac told me to reboot, every cold boot I did returned the same error until I decided to boot off the Tiger DVD and repair my disc via Disk Utility. When I tried to repair I got the following error.
Verify and Repair disk “Master 160”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
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
What's causing this and how can I solve it? I got the 160GB Seagate PATA drive a few months ago just for Tiger and it screws up.
I was able to mount the "Master 160" using my old Panther HDD (haven't gotten around to reformating it) and was able to see my HDD. I tried Repairing again and got the same error.
Now though I'm using an old 40GB Maxtor PATA as a temporary Tiger HDD til my 200GB Seagate PATA comes in on Thursday/Saturday.
I did some research and saw that Disc Warrior can help... anyone use this app and successfully got their file back?
BTW does trying to mount via Firewire rather than internal IDE connectors make a difference?
