I tried once more with DiskWarrior to rebuild the
directory on my 60 Gb Firewire drive.
Again, it reported the Mac OS services failure.
Then I could not get the disk to mount.
Disk utility gave the following diagnosis:
Verifying volume ³60 Gb drive²
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
1 volume checked
0 HFS volumes verified
1 volume failed verification
These kinds of error messages are sounding more
Windows-like every time I see a new one.
Anyone have any idea what kind of error is being seen here?
Now I cannot mount this backup disk..... :-(
