boomboxxsocks Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 hi all i'm on intel motherboard with a quad core processor, leopard 10.5.2. basically for some reason my hard drive was working fine, then one day last week i turned my mac back on and the hard drive will not initialize anymore. i've gone into disk utility to try and repair disk. but it's listed there, not the name i gave it but 'disk1s1'. i then go to verify disk and it comes up with this error. Verifying volume "disk1s1" /dev/disk1s1* Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: fa31c0 Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed. so i started looking for data recovery software, i found one called data rescue and its found alot of data on it, some i dont need (like stuff i deleted a long time ago), but i have 3 logic project folders full of projects i need to get finished for releasing! but the thing with data rescue is... it is renaming all the fle aiff001, aiff002 etc etc, and for logic files this is no good as you need the files named as they were other wise it won't recognise the files and all the individual parts won't load up! so i need a way of either making the mac recognize my hard drive again so i can drag everything off it and reformat it, or use a data recovery software that does not rename the files? can anybody please HELP! cheers BOOM!
