| External Hard drive bricks after ejectin Hey Everyone, I recently bought a new 1TB external seagate hard drive to use as media storage for FCP on my G5 quad. I brought it home and started it up, partitioned into 3 pieces and then I ejected it. Now it won't be recognized by my Mac. I feel like I've tried everything. Last night I unplugged the firewire and power cable, then this morning I flicked it on just to see what happened. It worked! I added some files to the drive and ejected it again to see if it would restart. Nothing... So I waited another 15 minutes and tried again, nothing. Any idea why the drive seems to turn into a brick after I eject it? Hopefully it'll work after I wait another few hours again, but that doesn't seem like a working hard drive to me. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your help.  |

| Why are you ejecting it? The drive should spin down after a while. If you need to eject it, disconnect the drive from the G5 after you eject it.
