Hi,
I have been shooting with microdrives for many years now. The only failure I have had was with a sandisk flash card so never thought about it. Now I have two Hitachi 4Gb microdrives that work okay but are having trouble with downloading a couple of image each. Seems clear there is a problem with the drive but its not the drive head clicking problem. I have read that there are ways to map out bad sectors on drives and then have a happy and useful life after that witout data loss. Can anyone with experience comment on this? I've got a couple tools that might work including disk warrier and drive genius but they are not working with my card connected via a card reader. I have a Mac Quad G5...any clues on how to get this to connect and mount like a physical device would be also useful.
Thanks,
Eric
