Problem description
|
When this message comes up it's usually a sign that the volume's
boot sector is damaged. DiskPatch allows you to examine, verify and
(if needed) rebuild a boot sector.
If the repair does not yield the expected results the damage may
extend beyond the boot sector; you will then need to copy the files
from the volume to safety using a tool like iRecover.
