help with maxtor external hard drive?
hey guys -
i'm trying to use a maxtor that i used with my pc on my mac pro. it didn't read when i plugged it in, and now it's saying that 'volume needs repair'. can i repair it and leave all the data intact? it also said it was 'checking hfs plus volume'. don't know if that info helps, but thought i'd put it in there. after that it says:
invalid B-tree node size.
The colume needs to be repaired
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
thanks for the help

ok i tried that, it gave me an error. says 'the underlying task reported failure on exit' again....
Ok, that is a VERY bad error message to get, but before I tell you that you will have to reformat your harddrive, losing all the data on it, What is it formatted as right now (NTFS, HFS, FAT)? and try and see if you can save any data onto your pc from it. I am guessing that it won't read from os x but it will read from vista/xp, right?
