ratchet Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi I'm running Kalyway 10.5.2 and pretty much everything works. But my external hard-drive is only mounted and shown in the Finder if it was already plugged in when I booted leopard. I was also able do read and write files without problems. But after I unplug the external hard-drive and plug it in again, it's doesn't get shown within Finder again, and I cant mount it with the disk utility. But it is shown in the system Profiler and I can connect it to VMware and use it in my virtual Windows XP. The only way to get it mounted again within leopard was to reboot my computer. How can i mount the Hard-drive again without rebooting? Can somebody help me please!!! PS: sry for my bad english Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95302-usb-drives-doesnt-get-mounted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

komeet Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Probably there is something wrong with the MFT of your usb drive. If you have FAT32/NTFS check your drive with chkdsk.exe and repair file system errors.

I'm not sure, but I believe it occurred after applying the security update. I solved it installing another hacked kernel.

Catw3azle Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 which one?? Darwin noname 9.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Sun Mar 2 00:11:08 SCT 2008; made by ToH:xnu-1228/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 I believe other kernels would also do the trick.
