When I start-up my computer in the morning, I'm getting a message that says
"Mac OSX was unable to repair the disc "G-Tech 4b". You can read and copy files from this disc but you cannot modify or add files. Backup and reformat disc as soon as possible".
G-Tech 4b is one of the two partitions on a 4TB G-Tech external hard disc. It has just some copies of files on it. The other partition "G-Tech 4a" holds a full clone (Superduper) of my iMac.
I ran Disk Utility Repair on both partitions and the whole disc. The result in all cases was "This disc seems to be OK".
When I look at the list of available discs in the sidebar of the main HD window "G-Tech 4b" is listed, it is greyed out but still selectable....
Any ideas of solving this?
A reformat will surely only be on the who;e 4TB? Which will wipe out the clone and the incremental updates.
Main machine is iMac 27 inch 2010. The one with the new display. Running 10.7.5. Connections are USB.
