My question/problem perhaps does not belong here and if so just let me know and i can delete the posting.
I have a FireWire 1 TB hard drive about two years old.
It has OS 10.6.7. It has 50 per cent free space.
Recently, after booting into this FireWire drive i tried to install data from DVD's . The data on these DVD's use the installer application.
When the installer has about one minute remaining i note that the activity led light on the FireWire hard drive just stays on red and the installer never finishes and all is frozen. Force quit does do anything.
Then i have to turn off my iMac ( 3.06 GHz ) meanwhile the FireWire stays on and the activity led light on the FireWired drive stays on red.
Only when i turn off the power to the FireWire drive and unplug the FireWire from the computer can i get the drive to work.
I have repaired the directory with DiskWarrior 4.3 and also TechTool Pro 6. Also repaired permissions.
Suggestions/help/advice please.
