Gee, damn, this software totally killed my HDD. I installed it, rebooted, and the macbook 13" came up normally. plugged in the EXT3 USB filesystem.. nothing.

Then, after 10 minutes, macbook went in sleep modus, and never got out of it. Reboot and stuff, nothing worked!!!!.

I removed the HDD and put it in an fantec external USB case.. nope, mu other Mac did not even recognize the disk... everything lost.... :-(

So again: WARNING!!! KILLED MY HDD TOO!!!!!!

Does not mount EXT3 drive - Version: 1.4d4, 12/27/2007 04:57PM PST

I have three blocks on a USB drive that was on a defunct Linksys network server. Using the icon in Preference, it says that each block could not be mounted due to a file error (0xf8DA00C). Any help?

BEWARE: Fried my hard drive! - Version: 1.4d4, 2/26/2007 09:56PM PST

I was testing this software on a (ext2) hard drive with expendable data just to see how well it worked. I knew this is a "developer's" version and I was aware that it might kill the data--but as the data was expendable, no problem I thought--I could just reformat the drive.

However, I got a kernel panic as soon as I rebooted with this software installed and when my Mac started up again, it would no longer recognize the drive at all. I tried accessing the drive from a Linux PC, but the computer would not even boot with the drive attached.

All attempts to revive this hard drive have failed.

BEWARE: THIS SOFTWARE DESTROYED A PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING HARD DRIVE!
