Hi,
since a few days I have problems mapping my external firewire disk. It's a 250GB disk that I had partitioned into two halfs using Windows XP. I use it with my XP PC and my iBook. I used to connect it sometimes using firewire, sometimes using USB2.0. Since a few days sometime only the second partition is mapped, sometimes none at all. In the disk utility it first recognized the 2 partitions. But it shows the one that wouldn't map as not active and for the same reason it says it could not be repaired.
When I connect it to the Windows XP PC and use Partition Magic, it does not map the disk but shows the whole disk as unpartitioned.
Any idea what could have caused this and how to repair it?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Bernd
