Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: FireWire Connection Lost!!

2007-04-13 by GAmoore@aol.com

I once made the mistake of yanking the firewire cable on an external drive 
when it seemed to be hung up and not responding to anything else. After that the 
drive would not appear on the desktop as if damaged. However, I ran 
Diskwarrior on it, and it brought it back to life. Evidently some directory was 
corrupted, which was easily fixed. I have read that experts advise you don't even 
power down the mac with external drives - but rather drag the drives to the trash 
first (to eject them) before powering down the machine. The next thing to try 
is plugging it in to different firewire ports. I just bought a board with 
extra firewire and USB ports, and found the USB to be dead by plugging a drive 
into different jacks.
