| Lacie 750gb not mounting on power book G4
Hello, Im having a problem with a 2month old LaCie 750GB 3.5" Hard Disk. It has recently stopped appearing on the desk top of my power book g4 (OSX 10.4) In Disk Utility - cannot mount or repair the drive & get this: Verify and Repair disk disk2s6 Checking HFS Plus volume. Invalid B-tree node size Volume check failed. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit 1 HFS volume checked 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error In System Profiler it also see it: LaCie Hard Drive USB: Capacity: 698.64 GB Removable Media: Yes Detachable Drive: Yes BSD Name: disk3 Version: 0.01 Bus Power (mA): 500 Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec Manufacturer: LaCie OS9 Drivers: Yes Product ID: 0x1018 Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported Vendor ID: xxxxx Does someone know how can I fix this & not lose all the data that's on it? Or retrieve the data? Many thanks, 2KR8  |

Could just possibly be the directory structure of the drive is corrupt from sudden power downs or not always being ejected properly. Diskwarrior is going to be your best bet at this point.

Might also want to give the power supply a once-over to ensure it's working properly. LaCie is notorious for power supplies that crap out after X amount of months, which can cause the symptoms you describe (drive doesn't mount, etc.).

What I mean is ensure that the power supply is fully functional. If you have electronic testing equipment (volt-o-meters and what-have-you), be sure it's outputting the proper voltage and amperage. LaCie power supplies are notorious for going bad and requiring replacements. A faulty power supply could be one of a few causes of what you're experiencing.
