rodlord Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Have been running Retrospect 6 on OSX 10.3.9 for a long time using external Firewire drives as the back-up media. All Lacie drives below 1 Tb capacity. Just came to the end of disk 6 in one set and Retrospect is asking for a new empty drive to be number 7. So I've mounted a brand new 1.8 Tb Lacie formatted as Mac OS extended with nothing on it. Retrospect tries to start using it but keeps coming back with an error 209 Media Content Damaged message. Have erased several times but no joy. I have a second brand new empty 1.8 Tb Lacie and have tried that one as well, with the same results. I've never encountered this problem before and can find no info on it. Does anyone know if this could be due to some sort of limit on the capacity of the disk drive ? Thanks in hope !

twickland Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 As I recall, the maximum HD size in Retrospect 6 is 1 TB. Try partitioning the drive into two 900 GB partitions and using each partition as a member of your backup set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
