I have a brand new USB2 HDD, which I partitioned. Meanwhile, I'm using SuperDooper to back up to a one of the new, empty, partitions.. The disk copied too has been blinking 24/7 for perhaps a week, and SuperDooper reports an "Effective copy speed 0.97 MB/s" (and falling). I just turned SuperDooper off..
Using SilverKeeper, I have been trying to back up to the other empty partition. It runs for a while and stops writing. It does not say it's quitting. It just quits. The bar no longer progresses. Disk Utility cannot repair or verify either partition. It does not say it's quitting. It just quits. The bar no longer progresses. erase either partition. It does not say it's quitting. It just quits. The bar no longer progresses. re-partition. It does not say it's quitting. It just quits. The bar no longer progresses. quit. I must quit it thru Activity Monitor. Disk Warrior begins saying Inspecting diskā¦ "Step 1. Searching entire disk in final rescue attempt." It does not say it's quitting. It just quits. Then, it will not quit. I must quit it thru Activity Monitor. All of this is troubling. I have no idea what I have done to cause this. _____________________ Nelsn Helm 4112 Massie Av 3 Louisville, KY 40207-2179
