[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1641562, member: 131855"] You're welcome. If you have a Windows box to test it with or know someone who does the drive might work for them once it has been reformatted. Some bus powered drives do not play nice with Macs but do with Windows. The drive corruption could have occurred due to disconnects while you were checking the drive -- especially if Disk Utility was writing corrections at the time. It's just as likely to have occurred during one of the other disconnects when Disk Utility was not open. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
