Hey folks,
Last night I was running Onyx to perform some maintenance, and the program recognized a problem and told me the startup disk needs repair. I booted up from my OSX install disk, repaired the volume, everything was fine and dandy. Then I booted up from my startup disk and my macbook was no longer able to mount my external hard drive. I look in disk utility, it recognizes my Seagate FreeAgent drive easily, but there is no volume where it usually says "Max's Drive." I had this problem only once before: when my drive was barely out of the box and unformatted. Partitioning a volume would undoubtedly destroy everything I have on my drive. I haven't yet tried it on another computer, but once I hear a few responses I will do so before bringing it into a shop.
