lecampbell Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Setup: Retrospect 5.1 Mac OS 9.2.2 Adaptec Firewire 800 Card Lacie D2 Firewire Hard Drives Problem: I have 7 backup sets, each using a firewire drive for storing the backup. All of the drives work fine except 1. That drive has started showing "not responding" in the devices list. All of the other drives show "ready" when connected. Restarting the computer, with or without the offending drive attached, does not help. Of course it would be this one drive that I need to retrieve some files from. Any suggestions?

rhwalker Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 sounds like you've got a drive that's failing. The LaCie D2 are known for that. Here's some suggestions: (1) you might have a bad firewire port or cable. Tried another? (2) The LaCie D2 is known for having power supply bricks that die. Tried another? Is the drive light on? (3) The LaCie D2 is known for having Firewire connectors that come unsoldered - construction isn't great. Have you tried wiggling the connector or even opening the case (if it's not under warranty)? Unclear how restarting the computer without the drive attached would help see the drive in the devices list. russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
