Good day. I came here in great desperation and I really need help. I own an iMac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Aside from the internal system drive I also have a 250GB external USB drive. I have Drive Genius installed. I tried "rebuilding" the USB external drive but to my surprise Drive Genius froze! I have no choice but to force quit the app. Now my external drive won't mount anymore, cannot be detected/recognized in Disk Utility (both when logged in and booted from the Snow Leopard disc.) I'm really frustrated since I'm only a new user of Mac and I don't know how to do those Terminal commands if there is a solution to revive my external drive. Please help me anyone. I'm really desperate and frustrated now ;)

 

I researched regarding the matter and upon checking the things Drive Genius' "Rebuild" button fix is the Catalog B-Tree something. I can still hear the disc spinning so I guess it just broke the Catalog B-Tree or the files needed for the hard drive to be recognized. When I tried installing Applejack and restarting in single-user mode, it detects an error about "still waiting for AppleUSBUHCI" and "AppleUSBHubPort: Port 1 of Hub at0xfd000000 about to terminate a busy device" something like that.

 

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

DiskWarrior doesn't detect it either.

 

In that case you should be trying to find software to recover whatever files you can from the drive and then reformat it. I personally like StellarPhoenix, but YMMV!
