Routing issue with Nokia Drive on Lumia 900

So I finally tried to use Nokia Drive on a real trip (in New Jersey, USA) and I've noticed that the software often seems stuck on returning you to the originally plotted route when you deviate from it, instead of finding the best remaining route based on the new location. I'll give details for my particular trip in case this is a local issue.
We decided to take the NJ Turnpike to route 18 to River Road to Interstate 287 instead of 295 to 206 to 287 as Nokia Drive recommended (the routes are roughly equivalent in travel time, so I don't fault this initial route selection). When we entered the Turnpike, the new route kept trying to get us to 295 until we passed Exit 7 (In reality, past Exit 5 there isa considerable penalty to getting off the turnpike and onto I 295).
Finally, after Exit 7 it decided we should stay on the turnpike and get to 287 directly using Exit 10 (This too is roughly equivalent in travel time, so it was a reasonable suggestion). Once we took Exit 9 to route 18 instead it picked a different route than the one we are familiar with and this is where the biggest problem occurred. The route it suggested would enter 287 North at Exit 7, while the route we took entered 287 at Exit 9. It kept insisting we get back on its rout and get on at exit 7 to the point that when we were about to enter 287 at exit 9, it told us to get onto 287 *south* and take it to exit 7 where we would exit the highway and immediately re-enter it northbound. This is rediculous and should never have been suggested.
Am I right in my assessment that the software tries to stick to the original route instead of calculating a new one on the spot? What possible advantage can there be in doing it this way?
Thanks in advance,
Boris

Here is a quite stupid example on route recalculation and how it tries to return to the route originally suggested. The recalculated route suggests that I turn right, drive a few meters and then make a U-turn. The error is not in map data itself. The other picture shows that turning left is not forbidden.

  • Routing Issue with 3550

    I am having a routing issue with a 3550 switch. I have 5 vlans and I need one of the vlans to access a different router based on destination IP rather than our edge router. I have entered a static route on the 3550 that points to the secondary router whenever a certain network is tried to be accessed. My problem is I can't seem to get the traffic to flow correctly. When I trace route an address on the Internet the path shows as expected, the 3550 then my firewall then my edge router. When I trace an address that is on the other side of the secondary router I get the 3550 as the first hop, then nothing. I can ping the address so I know the path is up. What could be the issue? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    in addition to Mahmood´s post, what do you have defined as the next hop for the default route to the secondary router ? If you use an interface on the 3550 as the next hop, make sure that whatever is connected is in the same subnet, otherwise use the IP address of the next hop. So, let´s say your remote network is 192.168.1.0, and the secondary router is connected to FastEthernet0/1, your default route should look like this if the secondary router is in the same subnet (in this example, the IP address of the secondary router would be 172.16.1.2):
    interface FastEthernet0/1
    no switchport
    ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.252
    ip route 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 FastEthernet0/0
    Otherwise, try:
    ip route 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 172.16.1.2
    where 172.16.1.2 would be the address of the secondary router.
    Does that make sense ?

  • Install issue with CD drives / and burning

    I am running Windows Vista 64 on a new computer I built (latest ASUS P5K-E with a quad Q6600 cpu and 4gigs of RAM). I transferred all my music and installed iTunes. Everything is working fine except for the burning of disks. It did give me a prompt at the end of the iTunes install and on first startup that there may be a problem recognizing the CD drives. However, there is no problem importing music on those CD/DVD burner drives -- but I cannot burn on those drivers. I can burn using other software on these drives -- no issues with the drives at all. Under iTunes "Preferences", and 'Burning' it states "No supported Disk burners found". Both are Lite-on CD/DVD burner drives and less than a year old -- and of course worked on the old XP computer with iTunes. I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes -- no luck. Any ideas? This looks to be something in the Registry on install, but not sure what to do. Any help appreciated.

    You may need the CD Configuration folder too, after you install the drivers.
    Here is the CD Configuration folder, with the Files you need Just Unzip it and place the CD Configuration Folder into Your C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes Directory

    I had my friend with Windows Vista x86 Install iTunes and give me the Folder and Files I needed.
    Hope this helps you

  • USB issues with External Drive

    I am running a 1 TB Fantom drive (MDC1000) (2 Partitions) on new OS 10.5.6 MacPro via one of the back USB ports. Been using the drive for over a year with no problems.
    Now intermittent issue with mounting drive. After successfully mounting and letting the drive cycle down, the USB2 connection disconnects when the drive starts back up again. I receive the Device Removal Message, then the drive tries to remount. Then I receive the message again. What is strange is that the drive seems to work fine when data is being accessed consistently.
    I clicked off the "put the hard disc to sleep" checkbox in the Energy Saver preference which seemed to stabilize the intermittent problem, but now there is an issue with the machine not coming out of sleep, and I get the startup clock icon when I try to restart. The machine does not shut down with the USB connected.
    I'm still trying to determine if it's the drive or the machine. I ran the disc utility and repaired the disc as the intermittent disconnections seem to corrupt the trees and directories. I am able to fix them. Is there any utility for testing the USB ports? There should BE.
    Could this be due to a recent update? Or lack of firmware update from the drive manufacturer? Seemed to come out of nowhere.
    Thanks for any info.

    Just to follow up with this for anyone has a similar problem.
    Tried new cables and seemed better for a short time, but then still would not mount successfully.
    I called Micronet after I didn't hear back via their email form. The tech there seemed to suspect it was the power connection on the network card in the drive which would make some sense. He confirmed there were no firmware upgrades for the Fantom drive.
    Also tried to mount the drive unsuccessfully via Firewire and it did not work.
    So my conclusion is that it's not the drive mechanism but the network card in the drive. I have a sinking suspicion that there is a power issue in my office space, which may have affected the drive. I've had other machines and devices which have had power issues in the past.
    Does anyone know any simple and easy way to test electrical integrity in a work/office environment?
    I bought another 2tb drive, transferred the data and reformatted the old drive to see if that does anything.

  • Multiple issues with Nokia Lumia 920

    I bought my NL920 about one month ago (Telstra). It had been working flawlessly up until a few days ago.
    The first issue I noticed was the back, start and search buttons were no longer being illuminated, no matter what. I tried multiple soft resets to no success. I just left it, thinking nothing of the problem. 
    A day or so after I noticed the issue with the backlight, two more strange things began to occur: 
    Tilt doesn't work at all. The screen doesn't rotate when the phone is flipped, and it doesn't seem to recognise tilting whatsoever (noticed this when I attempted to play Doodle Jump).
    And second issue is apps are crashing as soon as they are launched. This doesn't happen with every app on the phone, but it occurs while trying to use some of my most used apps (Facebook and Camera are the main ones). I can't launch the camera app at all, and the side button doesn't work either. 
    I tried a hard reset in an attempt to resolve these issues, but all three issues are not fixed at all. 
    I have no idea what to do now. I've never dropped the phone, it's always been look after well. I am 99.9% sure it isn't something physical. 
    These issues all seem to have came after updating some apps (Extras & Info was one of them I believe). Could that be the problem?
    Swapping the phone for a new one would be a last resort. 
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just reset it, didn't work unfortunately. Looks like I'm going to have to replace it. 
    Would I just have to take it to my Telstra shop and let them deal with it? Or can I send it to Nokia directly? 
    Thank you.

  • Z77A-G43 issue with SATA drive

    This is wierd
    I have 4 Hitachi drives all of 1TB, perfectly working on old PC.
    Today have decided to transfer them into new PC:
    MB: Z77A-G43
    BIOS: 1.20
    CPU: Intel g2020
    Primary drive is Intel SSD 120G series 330
    I have attached 3 HITACHI drives successfully, they are all working fine.
    but particular one forces MB to reboot before BIOS screen, last code seen on screen is A2?
    Then I have decided to put dedicated controller 1st I took SilImage 3512 SATA/RAID Controller
    - no changes computer reboots before post screen
    After I took VIA VT6421 SATA/RAID Controller
    - no changes computer reboots before post screen
    searched web, found nothing useful.
    any ideas what might causing this?
    EDIT: tested controller SiI3512 on old PC and trouble HDD, everything works just fine :/
    read AMIBIOS codes:
    0xA0 IDE initialization is started
    0xA1 IDE Reset
    0xA2 IDE Detect
    0xA3 IDE Enable
    0xA4 SCSI initialization is started
    0xA5 SCSI Reset
    0xA6 SCSI Detect
    0xA7 SCSI Enable
    0xA8 Setup Verifying Password
    A2 is ide ? what ide ? I give up.
    it seams to me that this board is broken in several ways
    - non working DVI
    - faulting with valid SATA drive
    what else awaits me on this road

    Quote from: flobelix on 07-May-13, 04:27:27
    using IDE previously and now AHCI might trouble Windows but system would none the less post. At least you should get past IDE detection but hanging at A2 means it doesn't.
    I'm wondering about your statement you had been using SilImage 3512 SATA/RAID Controller and VIA VT6421 SATA/RAID Controller. Are these PCI add-on cards? Did you try all SATA ports controlled by the Z77 chipset. Are the drives used are all identical? Is the issue only happening with one particular drive or anytime you attach a fourth hdd no matter which one it is?
    About the performance difference from AHCI to IDE the differences are minimal. Should be almost irrelevant for the hdds.
    My discoveries:
    Using sata mode IDE with windows installed in AHCI mode == windows hangs during loading (BSOD), probably missing drivers or similar.
    Also I am unsure what A2 code means but I have noticed it is displayed while bios post screen shows up with the list of installed drives during normal boot.
    And is also last code I see when I attach problematic drive resulting in reboot loop.
    To be honest I haven't tried all SATA ports on board for sure I haven't tried SATA 1 (1st white) as there is my SSD drive.
    But I have tried almost all other ports. I can try them all, but I don't think this will solve the problem.
    I don't think problem is in what slot I put my drive, since same behavior is with SATA/RAID controllers.
    And whit this SATA/RAID controllers this drive is working perfectly normal on other PC.
    No not all drives are identical but I have exactly same drive as this one, and all drives are hitachi:
    * HDT721010KLA330 working fine
    * HDS721010SLA360 working fine
    * HDS721010CLA332 (1) working fine
    * HDS721010CLA332 (2) problematic drive == reboot loop (when its single drive or with others).
    True I haven't tried to detach Intel SSD and leave problematic drive as only drive in system, I may try this tomorrow)
    funny part is that HDS721010CLA332 (2) is working fine when I hot plug it.
    Checked firmware version on both drives, and both drives have identical firmwares.
    Only difference I know off is that working drive has 1 partition, and problematic drive has 2 partitions.
    EDIT: forgot to say it passed SMART test, everything was green (hitachi sw), while hdd sentinel reported 1 bad sector but saying estimated drive working days > 900 days and degree was 98% I am guessing because of that 1 bad sector and too many working days (years) behind him.

  • Routing Issue with 3550 Switch

    I am having an issue with routing with one of my Cisco 3550 switches.  I know the 3550s are EoL but some of us have to work with what we have.
    I am using a 3550 on either side of a Layer 2 link.  The Layer 2 link is 2 Extreme Summit X-440 switches with Microwave between the switches.  I have a VLAN configured on both switches and tagged on the ports connected to the Microwave.  The 3550 switch on each end is configured for IP routing but I cannot pass traffic between the switches.  If I unplug the switch on the local end and plug in a laptop, I can ping the switch on the remote end and access devices at the remote end. 
    I know this should work because I am doing the same thing over another Microwave link and Layer 2 link using another 3550 and a HP ProCurve at the remote end.
    Here are the configs for each 3550:
    Local end;  Port Fa0/23 goes to the Remote Side.  Port Fa0/24 goes to the rest of the network

    Ideas?  Anything stand out as grossly wrong?  I have worked on this for 2 days and am at a loss.
    Thanks
    Jamey

    Sorry for the delay in replying.  Other items at the office took priority over this project.  I tried that and no change.  I pulled the switch from the remote site and took it back to the local end and connected the switches with a crossover cable and everything works fine.  I have pretty much determined that it is an issue with the config in one of the Extreme switches.  The config in those look pretty normal but there are a few things I am unsure of.  Guess I'll see if there is a similar site for Extreme gear.
    Thanks

  • Routing issue with ASA and UC540 phone system - at ASA???

    Having an issue with routing from the PC at .242 to the CUE server at 10.1.10.1. The CUE server is built into the UC540 phone system. It is an internal piece of software that is used for voicemail and management. The UC540 is not only a call router, it is also an IOS router. It has it's own WAN connection as does the ASA.
    Here are some facts:
    1. Can ping the UC540's internal CUE server from the PC ( ping to 10.1.10.1 )
    2. Can ping the UC540's VLAN 1 address from the PC ( ping to 10.1.10.1 )
    3. The ASA is the default gateway for the PC.
    4. I have a route inserted at the asa that is:
                   route 10.1.10.1 255.255.255.0 10.19.250.254 1
    5. I have a nat statement that prevents NAT from occuring but I don't think this is necessary as the 10.1.10.0/24 network isn't otherwise defined on the      ASA.
    6. I cannot pull up a web page when I point the browser on the PC to the 10.1.10.1 address
    7. I CAN pull up a web page on the PC when I create a static route on the PC iteslf :
                   route add 10.1.10.1 mask 255.255.255.0 10.19.250.254
         Is is only with this route that I am able to get to the web GUI on the phone system.
    8. The phone system has a loopback interface at 10.1.10.2 that serves as the gateway for the internal CUE server, the internal CUE server is at      10.1.10.1
    9. The switch is a 2960 and has a trunk port to the phone system to allow for the voice vlan which is at 10.1.1.0/24, no issues with this vlan and phones      are connecting to the system fine.
    Since I can get the GUI to come up when I set a static route on the PC, then I would assume that the routing in the phone system with it's internal server is fine as it wouldn't work otherwise. Since I can successfully ping the CUE server from the PC, that would lead me to believe that the ASA's routing is setup correctly..... TCP traffic doesn't seem to get to/from the CUE server.
    Here are the routing tables:
    ASA:

    Hello,
    Where you able to solve this problem? It does sound like an issue with TCP state checking on the ASA. The Firewall needs to see both sides of the traffic but the return traffic is going from your UC540 direct to the PC. The firewall essentially kills the traffic.
    I would recommend disabling TCP state checking on the ASA and see if it works. Otherwise, you will need to stub route the UC540 as a separate VLAN off the ASA which needs to route through the ASA to reach the PC.
    Here is a info page on the TCP State Bypass:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/asa-5500-x-series-next-generation-firewalls/111986-asa-tcp-bypass-00.html
    Please let me know how it works out.

  • Routing Issue with 2 Nics on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Good Day
    My issue is I needed to set up port forwarding for a web server to communicate with our hotels management server to check availability.
    Initially the server has a single Nic configured in the 172.26.1.0 /24 network  , Its default gateway the Switch vlan interface 172.26.1.1
    We have many vlans for all the systems in the hotel and the server also needs to communicate with 3 other servers on different subnets which it does just fine.
    I now added an additional adsl line with a managed router which has an interface of 192.168.10.1 /24 , My servers second NIC has the IP address 192.168.10.2 with its gateway being the 192.168.10.1
    This 192.168.10.0 network is in a L2 Vlan and the rest of the network does not know it exists. It was working fine then just stopped asfter i added a static route to the server , which i did with RRas... I did this as the server could not communicate with
    just one of the servers..
    If i disable the 172.26.1.0 NIC the port forwarding works but then obviously the rest of the network goes down.. I know its a routing issue but am lost
    please help

    Hello,
    using multiple default gateways is not a good idea.

  • IMac goes to sleep unexpectedly, Finder issues with flash drives - related?

    My iMac falls asleep for no known reason, often in the middle of active use. (Similar problem recently described in thread with messageID=11829917.)
    Sleep onset is frequent but seems to vary based on both currently-running software and attached devices (particularly USB flash drives). It will almost always wake up when I hit the space bar afterward, but might sleep again within a minute or two, then not for an hour or more. The sleep occurs with little notice (brief stall of display, sometimes enough time to click on another app window and bring that forward before the screen goes dark), and 95% of the time the computer wakes up after hitting the spacebar. The other 5 % of the time the display reappears but the entire OS is frozen and usually requires unplugging the power cable. There are other symptoms in the Finder - more below. Once in a while the fan revs up like a WWII fighter plane taking off from a carrier, but this is unusual and all the really irritating stuff also happens without this symptom, which usually stops on its own. Immediately after reawakening error messages are displayed to report that flash drives were improperly disconnected (Tell me about it! This has been the case for several months whether the computer goes to sleep by itself or if I put it there manually.)
    The computer seems to go into sleep mode most frequently when not-particularly-demanding graphics (Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader) and video (QuickTime Pro 7.6.4) apps are running. Turning these off makes nod-offs less frequent but doesn't stop it entirely. When video thumbnails are displayed in Finder windows a lot of time may be required to load the data and this often paralyzes everything else AND this also seems to be a trigger for a nod-off (i.e. QuickTime not necessary to make the computer choke). This is highly variable and some video clips load quickly (< 20 sec), while others take several minutes, and this doesn't necessarily correlate with file size.
    Another factor is whether flash drives are connected - these seem to make the nod-offs more frequent AND Finder regularly loses communication to these both while just sitting there and also in the middle of file transfers. A very early 250 MB drive (Lexar - vintage 2004) will always communicate, but different USB2-capable drives all are either unreliable (Lexar 8 GB and KData 4 GB both < 1 yr old) or apparently dead (Lexar 2 GB ~ 2 yr old). The failures may be damaging the drives - they are inconsistent-to-bad at communicating with my MacBook Pro. I know this sounds like the drives are at fault, but there are things which make me suspect the OS (both computers use the same version): 1) different flash drives display the same on-again-off-again behavior AND the 2) the 2 GB drive that hasn't communicated with my Macs in over a month has no trouble talking with my wife's WinXP computer. When communication isn't working with these drives, they do not show up in either Finder or Disk Utility. When the Mac-dead 2 GB Lexar is plugged into either computer and I launch Disk Utility, the initial scan for drives never finishes so I have to force quit. (When they are working, on the iMac the large drives only appear in Finder if I go to User and press Command-uparrow (to go up a directory layer) - in columns display mode nothing appears in the left-hand column.
    (The following describes a set of problems I've had a little longer and which may or may not be related):
    At times the Finder loses some but not all functions:
    1) Sometimes files in the Trash can't be ejected* even when all apps are turned off
    2) usually when problem 1) is observed, no keyboard commands work: nothing happens when pressing Command-W, Command-uparrow or Command-N to open a new window. Text typed will not be entered to change filenames (but this can still be done by typing the desired text in TextEdit, copying there and selecting and pasting with mouse commands.)
    <* I have downloaded an app for forcing file deletion, but haven't really needed it - the delete option and keyboard commands all return after shutdown and reboot, and there's usually enough annoying stuff going on by this time that that seems the best thing to do.>
    Things which I've tried to fix it with so far (not in this order):
    - blowing dust out of the back with canned air
    - checking temperatures - CPU/GPU showing 72/73, HD bay 51, etc.
    - fixing permissions from normal boot
    - boot from install disk and running extended hardware test (no problems found during scans repeated several times during the past month)
    - fixing permissions and running Disk First Aid from install disk boot
    - getting files off the hard drive (was as low as 3 GB free space, currently ~ 35 GB and climbing)
    - clearing PRAM
    - resetting system manager (name? - hold down power button when reconnecting power cable, etc.)
    - Power Saver display and computer auto sleep are shut off (both on "never" - I regularly put it to sleep manually)
    - virus scans (Clam XAV)
    I realize that this is a kitchen sink collection of symptoms, but these things may be related and if so, OS developers may want to be sure these problems are avoided in current versions. (Yes I will upgrade my OS soon...)

    Thanks for checking in, Miriam - sorry to get testy about it.
    The iMac's RAM is maxed out (2.5 GB)
    Yes, the system log does report overtemp message to Power management prior to shutdown (today's log at end of post)
    Where do I find normal temperatures for the system? What are the important parameters to watch and what sort of fixes are possible?
    iStat currently shows:
    HD 54° CPU 67° GPU 72° Incoming air 38° (???)
    HD bay 54° GPU ambient 71° opt drive 49°
    ==========================================
    Console.log was largely full of stuff about a bad flash drive I stuck in as a Hail Mary and failure of communication with a scanner (old HP, driver package installs a program which starts at launch which doesn't show up under Startup Items. Apparently the permission got mislaid, so I fixed permissions and this seems OK now. (Only included that because some of it shows up in System.log and it's not worth focusing on.)
    [That all said, there is a software/OS component to the problem and it is graphics-related. The other night I was looking at some flash videos in a series and one in particular repeatedly caused shutdown, while others played normally: domain = jebhost.com /youtube/list.php?q=Henry+8.o&Submit=GO "The Tricycle Thief" only played through once out of about six tries.]

  • Special characters issue with Nokia Maps on N95

    Hi there,
    when using Navigation in conjunction with Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain any special character in their name (for example: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc…) do appear as unreadable garbage on the screen of the N95.
    I only noticed the problem after having purchased the 3 years license Navigation upgrade (EUR 99.99) and immediately notified Nokia. That was back in October. Since then I have called them at least 10 times and ultimately I have asked for a refund as no solution is still available.
    In all these calls with Nokia, the only reasonable argument I heard was that maybe (!!!) the new software update version 20.0.015 released back at the end of November could solve the issue. Unfortunately, for my phone (which is a branded one) the update is not yet available.
    Today, after calling them again, I was told that Nokia’s policies do not foresee refunds and therefore my request has been rejected. I was told to bring my phone to a Nokia Store and see if they can help me (I don’t see how). I was also told that maybe I would have to send-in the phone for repair.
    This is soooo frustrating that despite the 3 months of patience and all the money spent for the N95 (not quite cheap), the navigation upgrade and the phone calls to Nokia, I still have the same issue. I will probably end up filing a complaint with a monthly consumer’s magazine in the hope they will publish my story.
    After all, it may not even be Nokia’s fault but rather the guys who are responsible for the maps, but if Nokia accepts to have a commercial venture with a vendor, than they also accept liability for the joint product. And by turning down my legitimate request for refund, they have proven not to give a **bleep** about people like you and me.
    Forgive me for the long post - needed to release some of the frustration...

    I have been using an N95-8GB since Nov.'07. From my experience with this phone that has a built-in mass memory besides the phone memory. I had trouble retrieving some of the softwares I have installed. For eg. I have saved some themes in the mass memory & I could not find it when I want to delete it. There are some 3rd parties games software inside where I cannot even delete
    This is what I don't like about the phone. I have bought an N82/Black recently as it uses an external memory card.
    Coming back to Nokia maps. Personnaly, I don't think they are that good & I have problem downloading it into my phone from my PC after having downloaded it from Nokia.
    By the way the Nokia map is not even the latest map 2.0. Is still a 1.0
    I used Navfone map software & it works OK in the 8GB. You have to purchase it.
    I have used a couple of N-series phones in the past ie. N-90, N-70, N-71, N-73, N-80/Black, N95, N-95/8GB & now N-82.
    Common with all N-series phones. After you have disconnected when you are done with your call you have to wait for a while before the word "disconnected" disappears.
    The more features it has, the more problem you are gonna to encounter.
    Unless you want to download softwares into your phone & have a good camera thats where the N series phones come in.
    For normal usage, a 40 series phone will suffice.

  • Skype Sign In Issue with Nokia E5

    Hi Friends,
    I am facing skype log in problem in my mobile Nokia E5 where as via PC i can logged in successfully. Through mobile whenever i try to log in skype it shows skype sining and later on after few seconds it stop working. Plz suggest how can i resolve this issue with my Nokia E5 ?

    Hi kishor12345,
    To further verify, are you using the internet browser when trying to access the Skype? If so, have you tried browsing the other website wherein you need to sign in your account first before you can proceed? In case that you are using mobile data, please use Wi-Fi connection instead. You may also restart your phone by switching the phone off, take the battery out, put it back in after a few seconds and switch your phone on.
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • Issues with external drive on Mac Mini / Lion

    I'm using an external SATA drive in a Newer Technologies Voyager dock (which I like to call the "toaster") with a brand new Mac Mini i5 2.3G via FW800.
    The drive was formatted using Disk Utility on a G4 running Tiger (10.4.11)
    With the drive mounted, the Mini's performance seems to slow down, and it randomly dismounts the drive, with the usual warning, "you disconnected your drive without dismounting it first, bla bla...)
    I think I remember when Leopard was new, there was a firmware issue that had to be dealt with, and when moving drives from OS 9 to X and back to 9, I lost access to the data on the drive.
    I'm also aware of the partitioning scheme difference when formatting drives for use on the Intel machines.
    Could either of the above have anything to do with the problem I'm having here?

    I'm not an expert in this, but as far as I know, GUID only comes into play if you want to boot from it, but...... you never know, it could - here is an excerpt from Disk Utility:
    If you’ll be using the disk only with Mac computers, choose GUID Partition Table.
    Another thought is: how old is that drive? All hard drives fail sooner or later - have you tried to check it with Disk Utility or something like Disk Warrior?
