After recently getting the same problem I tried unplugging all the drives one by one and it turns out to be my old G5 system drive - a 251GB Maxtor SATA - that I have just installled to be my OSX backup - OSX BU.
I so far set one ccc backup to it but having noticed the problem I reformatted it in drive utility hoping to fix the problem.
However on reboot the problem returns?
Any ideas how to solve this?
maybe move the sata cable?
reformat to another file system?
Thanks for any advice!
Replace the drive - it must be about 8 years old now. It is certainly past its expected life of 5 years rather well. As a backup drive you cannot rely on it. Buy a new drive.
