In a bind/ trash prefrences/hard not seen
I used the neat little utility to trash preferences and now my external drive won't mount . How can I get the mac to see the drive?, keeps telling me to initialize the drive, but won't let me repair, or recover? thanks

Re: In a bind/ trash prefrences/hard not seen
Update, I purchased disk warrior and no go???, hopefully marc from their tech support will get me through this. It seemed it did it's job but still all my files won't populate, and there was no errors at all through the process. So I then download disk drill demo version and all be dam it shows all my files ready to be recovered but I'll have to pay them to do it buying disk drill, and I already paid disk warrior and definitely the files are there. keeping my fingers crossed.

What was the "neat little utility" you used that seems to have destroyed your set up? Need to avoid that one. |

What kills me is their statement----->DiskWarrior is the only product that finds all of your data. Its patent-pending method always results in a perfectly rebuilt directory without any errors and that contains all of your file and folder data. Come on DISK DRILL lets prove them wrong (LOL)

ProTools Prefs & Database Helper I've used it (even ALOT, when troubleshooting) and never had any problem. My impression is that it is used by MANY people and I've never seen one complaint. It just trashes a few files. Hard to see how it could distroy a disk.
