Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark
I have a problem, that I can't seem to solve. I hope this is the right forum.
Setup:
G4 dual 800 (Quicksilver)
Mac OS X 10.4 (fully updated)
1 x 80 GB internal harddrive with system, applications and fonts
2 x 160 GB Hitachi Deskstar (7k250) 160 GB drives attached to a Sonnet Tempo133 ATA controller
Each of the 160 GB drives has been partitionet into 2 partitions, so I have 5 "drives" on my desktop.
Recently, I suddenly couldn't write to the 2 partitions on one of the 160 GB drives.
So I copied all my data to an external FW drive and wanted to reformat the drive.
The copy process went well .. all my data was readable without any faliures.
But i can't format the drive.
Depending on how I format/partition the drive, I get either 1 partition named disk0s1 or two partitions named disk0s10 and disk0s12 (even though I type in a volume name) ... but they are alle gray and doesn't mount ... and when I try First Aid, I get this error message: "The underlying task reported failure on exit."
S.M.A.R.T status says the disk has been checked and that it is OK.
Disk Warrior can't help me. It says the catalog file are too damaged ...
What to do? Are there any other formatters out there, worth trying?
It's really annoying ...
Thank you in advance
Peter
