Original Question:

> I am stumped. I have a NT Server (4.0 sp4) running services for
>macintosh and Delta RIP software driving an Iris and Quasar imagesetter.
>This is a new system and I need to have it operational yesterday.
> My trouble started with disk corruption on 2 drives after a restart
>of the server with a Quark file open on a Mac Workstation (it WAS
>late...O.K., I'm a moron but knowing is half the battle). When it rebooted
>the server said "possible corruption etc. and ran auto check. The two
>drives were no longer visible in the chooser and in the macfile/volumes
>window they were Xed out. I removed the files & attempted to share them
>again & got the message that they must be NTFS formatted, which they were.
>So I reformatted them & got the same message then I deleted the partition
>& reformatted & got the same message when I tried to create a mac volume.
>The other mac volumes(on different drives) are still visible in the
>chooser so I am pretty sure the problem is with these drives and not the
>services for macintosh. I have a repair disk but have never used one
>successfully before (I'm NTilliterate). I used Disk Manager to reformat
>the drives, is there another utility I should use? Will the repair disk
>help? Has anyone seen this before?
