damaged HD after use as a target disk

"-127" = HFS parent tree error.....

Diskwarrior shall be your savior here... but you may also want to try fsck'ing your way out of trouble... ;)

damaged HD after use as a target disk
Authored by: ettorep on May 14, '02 08:30:15AM

well, when the damage occurred i didn't have diskwarrior so I couldn't do that.

Right now i already reformatted the whole thing down, since I had no important data on my disk (I clean-installed the systems a few days before.)

About fsck, I thought about that too late to do it. :)

Anyways, I was wondering about the target disk mode itself: is it safe ? did anyone experienced similar problems ? do you know anything more specific? I'd like to know different theories about the cause and possibly a technical explanation of how target disk mode works: i think it writes something on the HD (after all it screwed up mine) but i don't know anything else. I didn't find any in-depth explanation on the knowledge base (only a note on how to use it).
Thanks a lot!
