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.
