Sparseimage

[sonic77]

I'm using File Vault, and the last time I restarted my computer, all of my files disappeared from the home folder.

I now have a new sparseimage which I cannot open. I've tried the disk first aid and get:

Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)

1 volume checked
0 HFS volumes verified
1 volume failed verification

The error message, "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)" is a serious filesystem error in the Mac OS X Core Foundation. The problem can also lead to other critical errors such as "Keys Out of Order," "Invalid node structure" and/or "Invalid sibling link." The causes and scenarios vary. Troubleshooting a solution may depend upon computer configuration and whether the -9972 error is accompanied by other critical errors. This issue can also lead up to a kernel panic. If the error occurs when an external FireWire device is connected, disconnect it until you verify the device's compatibility.

You can try using DiskWarrior, but since this is a sparseimage, I don't know if it'll work.
