Has anyone had a error message that reads " a disk attempting to mount as unknown has failed verification or has failed to mount. Please use disk utility to check the disk and correct any errors". The firewire has music i've been working 6 months on and I was trying to back the latest sessions up, and so i am treading very carefully with this problem. I am running an mbox with 6.1 pro tools on a single 1.25 G4 using OS-X. Any remedies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a Glyph 30gig firewire drive and it is not bootable. Were you able to boot from your firewire drive before?
