 Repairing Firewire HD My Firewire HD (Maxtor, 20 GB in Oxford 911) won't mount nor initialize in Mac OS X 10.1.5 anymore. Disk Utility --> First Aid cannot repair the problem ("error in tree"). Is there a way to do 'fsck' on a Firewire disk? What exactly will I have to enter? What's the path of a Firewire disk that cannot be mounted? Please help! :-) Mac OS X 10.1.5 iMac 500  |

| Diskwarrior I have no idea what "fsck" means, but use Diskwarrior. You will have to boot to OS 9 to use it, but it is by far the best drive fixer for the Mac. If you have an external FW case, it might make the process easier.

| DiskWarrior How safe is it to use DiskWarrior? Can it do harm to the file structure of Mac OS X? |

| the latest version of diskwarrior is completely safe - it repairs volume structures, not harms them. it will also be able to find your drive if you launch diskwarrior first and then hot plug the drive in.
