Hello
got my imac in the post two days ago, and everythings good, apart from...
i plugged my external hard drive (seagate 320gb) in, and everything worked fine. i accessed all my films, music and photos etc.
i watched a film, and after this pressed shut down, the screen went black, so i turned off the external. suddenly the screen came back on and warned me i shouldnt have done this, and said eject properly in future, which i always do anyway, i just thought the computer was off.
now, plugging it in, it says it is not readable on this computer. the options for repair are greyed out when i click the option to go into disk utility.
i plugged the drive into an old windows laptop where it used to be used, and now it wants to format, and wont open up, it actually doesnt even get recognised as EXT:, which was my name for it, it now just says Local disk E:
this literally has ALL my music/film projects on. ALL my photos, and tens of thousands of music files, and films.
what can i do!?!?!?!?
