build Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Please someone help. I thought this would be simple. I have messed up my osx install by upgrading to 10.5.8 and I need to get files of the drive before a reinstall. I have connected the drive to my macbook pro via usb to sata adapter. I can see the drive but all the folders appear empty? Is this a permissions thing or some security? How do I see the files? ****edit After reconnecting the drive a couple of times I can now see the files? weird.
