Well I own a MacBook Pro & a external hard drive which is the WD My Book Essential Edition hard drive 320 GB and the story is I have all my music & movie files in my external hard drive and nothing on my internal.
A friend of mines was going away on a trip and he wanted my external hard drive to import some movies onto his windows laptop so I gave him my external hard drive with no problems. After he got what he wanted this is where is gets sticky
My external hard drive file system was formatted Mac Os Extended (Journaled) and when i got it back from him the drive states file system windows/pc Ms-Dos (Fat) and now when i type into the spotlight search engine for a file that I know that's in the external hard drive it doesn't read it. Before i would type in the movie 300 which was inside of my external hard drive it would pop up in seconds. Why isn't my MacBook Pro reading my WD My Book Essential Edition External Hard Drive 320 GB and is there a way to cure this?
