Hello,
I purchased a G-Tech Q 500GB External Hard drive about a month ago. There have been numerous issues with it since I got it a month ago.
I had it set as my primary iTunes hard drive (where I stored all of my 20,000+ songs, videos, and more). When I would "move to trash" files in iTunes, I would not be able to empty the trash and I would get an "Error -50" message in finder. If I turn off the drive, the files would dissapear out of the trash. The other day, the same thing happened, and I immediately restarted my computer; my drive doesn't isn't even recognized anymore, except in Disk Utility where it comes up as "disk2s2," and when I click verify or repair, I get this message:
Verify and Repair volume “disk2s2”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
The main issue now is getting it to mount; I don't necessarily want to spend $100 on a piece of software, but I did run demos of a couple different disk repair programs; here are the results:
mac osx disk utility -- drive appears in left pane as "465.8 GB G-TECH, disk2s2" -- when I try to verify/repair, I get the aforementioned error message.
drive genius -- disk not coming up in any of the options, except for "repartition"
diskwarrior (booted on classic on old eMac) - disk did come up, but couldn't graph or repair (buttons were disabled)
Please help me!
