[QUOTE="drdesigns@triad, post: 48940"] Hi everyone. I am a newbie here and desperately need help with my ailing external hard drive (firewire). The problem is it won't mount to my Mac G4 desktop. I am running OS 10.3. I have tried hooking this up to another computer - no luck. I have tried a new firewire cable. When I open disk utilities the LaCie is recognized. When I run Disk First Aid it tells me the drive is damaged. I have contacted Drive Savers, as recommended by the LaCie web site. They sent me a quote of about $2000 to recover the data. The hard drive does not make any strange noises. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I do not have $2000 to spend recovering the data. I am hesitant to run Norton since Drive Savers says this may damage the disk further. Help! Any ideas are much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
