I have a G5 running OSX 10.2.8.
Just purchased a simpletech usb drive. formatted it as a unix drive and everything was working great. it was to be a backup drive.
lost power one day and I got an error message that said I didn't shut the device down correctly (no kidding) andthere may be some damaged data.
I wish I knew if the data was damaged because the drive won't mount. period. does anyone have an idea how I can reaccess the drive? It locks up disk utility (if I start it before turning on the drive it never shows up).
This has to be some knid of simple fix. To think that a drive would be permanently unmountable if it loses power seems crazy.
