[QUOTE="chscag, post: 850304, member: 46727"] It certainly sounds as if your 300 GB Pro Tools drive is problematic. Can you read the drive at all? See your data? I don't think Disk Warrior can recover or repair a defective hard drive. The specs say it builds and repairs directories and of course the file system. You may need to use something like "[URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue II[/URL]" which can be used to boot the machine and repair the hard drive in question and\or extract data. However, before spending money on Data Rescue II, why not boot your machine with your Leopard install DVD and use Disk Utility to verify and repair the Pro Tools drive. (Assuming the machine will boot from the Leopard disk while the Pro Tools drive is in place.) Another method you might consider is to install the Pro Tools drive in an external carrier or adapter and use Disk Utility to check and repair it. Regards. [/QUOTE]
