Trying to recover media – Getting various disk error messages???
I have a rather large FCP project with media that I’m having trouble accessing. I’m using an external lacie firewire drive. When I try to verify the disc (in disk utility) this is the error message I’m getting.
Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk???
I’m using OS 10.4.5 / Final Cut 5.0.4
I also tried using Disk Warrior and I got a message: Could not repair disk, disk is in use, close all other applications and try again. – BUT NO OTHER APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN.
??? Please help!Losing my mind,

It’s being reported pretty widely that laCie drives are causing this sort of problem. seems to be coming from a connection break in the firewire port on the drive. Re soldering it might help, but I’ve successfully cloned one of these drives to another with Data Rescue II. https://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
Clones the drive no matter what, then repairs to the copy brought back the data… copy has to be to another drive of course…

Thanks Very Much. I just began running Data Rescue II and it looks like it’s proceeding OK. The only thing is that it’s moving very slow. It says TIME REMAINING: 55 Hours, and I’ve already had it running for a few hours now.
Does this sound right?RS
