mounting firewire HD ?

[AdmiralAK]

I was trying to eject my zip disk by doing the apple-E keycombo, but in my hastiness I did not realize that my external firewire HD was selected, and by doing apple-E I unmounted it

I got it to remount by unplugging the cable and re-pluging it, however I was wondering if there is an easier way to remount my unmounted HD (something that doesnt invilve getting to teh back of my computer preferably )

maybe im not understanding, but i just turn it off at the back using the on/off switch, then turn it back on. it re-mounts that way

yea, if your firewire drive has a power button you can just turn it off and back on. if not, it's plug and unplug as far as i know. one of mine has a power button and the other doesn't. i would just turn the one with the button off most of the time if it weren't for the fact that i use it for my swap files.

Hope that helps A.K.

You can also open up the apple disk utility (used to partition disks) there is an option in the menu's that will allow you to mount a partition.

I believe the key combo is command + M but I'm not sure
