Hi Tom, Get all your files off that drive! If you can't, maybe disk utility will let you make a disk image of it? You could try to repair the disk with disk utility, but I would ask lacie about this first. I had the a client of mine with 1tb issues..was a bad power adapter. There are companies who recover data from bad drives.... but it may cost you a bundle. GOOD LUCK!!!

Hello, looks like my 1TB lacie backup "extreme disk" has finally decided to play with my sanity. I tried runnin' apple's disk utility to no avail. The discs icon shows up in the left panel but will not mount- here are the messages I got: =========Verify and Repair volume “Time Machine _BU” Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume. Detected a case-sensitive catalog. Checking Extents Overflow file. Invalid leaf record count (It should be 4500 instead of 4505) Checking Catalog file. >>Disk Utility stopped repairing “Time Machine _BU” because the following error was encountered: Filesystem verify or repair failed. (It should be 4500 instead of 4505) Checking Catalog file. Invalid node structure Volume check failed. Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed. ============= anyone have any insight or suggestions about what I should do next. I know that Lacie has had problems with the "extreme disks" power cords not giving the units enough juice but this doesn't seem related at all. trying not to wig out too much...but I do happen to have a A LOT of important stuff on this drive. Help?
