Hi there,
My external HD doesn't mount anymore. Its visible in Disk Utility but, all the options are grayed out.
How did this happen:
One day i deleted the Windows installations folders from the HD, so i wasnt able to mount the HD on windows, but i was able to on my mac. So i used Disk management to try and open it, without knowing what exactly to do.
Now my HD wont even mount on my mac, and i surfing all over the internet to find a solution. I made a scan with Data Rescue II which just found megabytes out of gigabytes i had on the HD. I also read about Disk warrior but did not try it yet, since i dont know what exactly is the problem.
These are the info about the HD from Disk Utility, dont know if they help.
