Thanks for the tip lepetitmartien I looked up the makers of the enclosure and had to hunt down the drivers I needed. I had heard about the oxford chipset being a problem in panther but my chipset isn't oxford but they had an update for 10.3 and also a disk utility software for OS 9. I installed the driver and no change in OSX. I have a dual boot iBook so I tried the OS 9 software and I thought it was fixed, but the same problem keeps popping up. Initialize or Erase fail because disk is in use. I've tried reformatting from the Terminal I've tried to erase folders from the drive in the Terminal but every time I get this message
rm: /Volumes/Bubo 1/ZuZu Samples/.DS_Store: Invalid argument rm: /Volumes/Bubo 1/ZuZu Samples/JJP ROOMY KIK: Invalid argument rm: /Volumes/Bubo 1/ZuZu Samples/JJP- NS10 KIK: Invalid argument rm: /Volumes/Bubo 1/ZuZu Samples/JJP- REVERB SNARE: Invalid argument rm: /Volumes/Bubo 1/ZuZu Samples/JJP- SMALL SNARE: Invalid argument rm: /Volumes/Bubo 1/ZuZu Samples: Invalid argument
I just ran fsck command on my drive and got this message it doesn't seem very good.
** /Volumes/Bubo 1 (NO WRITE)
CANNOT READ: BLK 16 CONTINUE? [yn] y
THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device fsck: /Volumes/Bubo 1: can't read disk label
I wonder if I should try another computer like you said before or maybe even a new enclosure or would that not make a difference? All my important data is backed up so I'm just looking for a fullproof, bulletproof way to eradicate this drive and reformat it. Once again any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks again lepetitmartien for the tips. I was sure you had it solved.
