OK...I am a newbie hare and am sooo glad I discoverd this forum. I didn't think I would need the help so soon, but I do. Here's the story...My assistant deleted a few GB of folders & files we needed. I tried to recoved them with TechTool Pro. Something happened while trying a directory recover and 3 of the attached 8 firewire hard drives now have directory problems. (They don't show up on the desktop and I get the "Drive not recognized, do you want to initialize" message.) I have tried Tech Tool, Disk Warrior, Disk Utility and Drive 10. Drive 10 did offer to rebuild the directory, but the comparison showed over 65,000 files before and 950 after! So, I opted NOT to replace. I am stuck.....where should I start? I have disconnected each drive and left the others connected to the base machine. I have the problem ones with me, hoping I can maybe resurect them one at a time. Where do I start? HELPPPPPPP!
