I have an ICY DOCK external enclosure with a WD 500GB in it. I've used it to keep mostly older photos (from years previous to the current year) on it with an extra iPhoto Library along with a couple other files. When I plug the drive in to my Macbook Pro, it mounts, and shows up in Finder, thinks for a bit.. Then many times, the folders I know are on it, show up in Finder. When I click on one of them to view the files inside the folder, it thinks a bit, then all the folders disappear.
When I try to eject it myself, it says the drive is in use and it can't eject.
Sometimes the drive just goes away and I get the Device Removal without ejecting error.
Things I've Tried:
Have tried using USB and Firewire. Basically does same things.
When I go to Disk Utility and try Verify Disk it gives "ERROR: could not open /Volumes/Wy500 to freeze the volume.
Trying Repair Disk it gives "The disk "Wy500 could not be unmounted"
Tried a demo of Data Rescue 3. Says it can't do the Quick scan, tells me to do Deep scan. Start that and it just hangs (logest i let it hang was 20 min) and I have to force quit it because it doesn't cancel.
Some more info:
THANK you for any help on this!!
