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..... :-( Trevor
