Mac: G4 667 MHz w/OSX 10.3.9
Issue: Mac won't mount peripherals- firewire hard drives, or usb camera, or usb printer. All were operating properly for over 6 months but now are getting error message (below). Disk utility sees the disks but won't repair or mount (I tried the repair function 5 times in a row, with restarts, but no luck).
Error Message: You have inserted a disk containing no volume that Mac OS X can read. to continue with the disk inserted, click ignore. (Button choices= Ignore & Eject).
DiskWarrior and TechToolPro look like possible options but are expensive. I have install disks for 10.4 and am wondering if it might help for me to update from 10.3 to 10.4?
I searched the forums/internet for info on this to no avail.
Any thoughts are truly appreciated- thanks!
