X-Ray Mac Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I plugged in my external hard drive and I got this notice and I'm not sure why.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Puppy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Once that happened to me. I have no idea why, but at random, it would start working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 That just "happens" sometimes. Happened way back from Jaguar and Panther days. Click Eject and plug the drive back in or reboot the machine and plug it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Did you do anything that could have corrupted the drive during its previous use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Ray Mac Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Not that I know of.. it was working fine. I installed time machine and it was still working then one day... boom. wouldnt appear on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think Time Machine is to blame. Boot up from Windows (if you have it) or a Linux LiveCD and recover any valuable data and reformat the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Ray Mac Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 what could it have done? I have windows on parallels and it doesn't do it any different.. Perhaps I'll try hooking it to my buddies MBP and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You mean it doesn't work on Windows either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Ray Mac Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Correct, and it had been fine since Day 1, just randomly wouldn't be recognized anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Maybe it was a coincidence and the drive just died, happens often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
