When I got on my new machine this morning before work, I found out that I was missing one of the drives I had extricated from the carcass of my old machine and installed in an external enclosure. I have it attached through FireWire, and when it mounts, one volume is OK, the other throws some kind of a write error and the whole drive goes offline.
I don't want to lose any data... but I MAY be too late...
