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.....		:-(
