Hey there Folks...
I have a Western Digital Passport 500 gb hard drive. It has 4 partitions.
External Boot - Mac OS Extended ( Journaled)
Media Drive 1 - Mac OS Extended
Media Drive 2 - Mac OS Extended
WINXP DATA - Fat 32 which is used for Windows XP if i wanna transfer some data around to and from someones computer
It was working perfectly fine until i used it on one of my friends Imac whose permissions and privileges were messed up as a result my hdd suffered that dunno.. what he did.. but i dont blame him.. it happens.
Now when i connect the my external Hdd to my Macbook running on Leopard it does not mount. I tried checking the DiskUtility and the external hdd is visible there but i cannot mount. I tried the First Aid.. trying to Verify and repair disk and it says all the partitions are OK with no problem...
This is what a snapshot of my Terminal looks like
tapan-dalals-macbook-2:~ Tapan$ ls -alO /Volumes
total 8
drwxrwxrwt@ 7 root admin uchg,hidden 238 Dec 4 03:11 .
drwxrwxr-t 41 root admin - 1462 Dec 4 03:39 ..
drwx--x--x 2 root admin - 68 Dec 4 03:36 External Boot
drwx--x--x 2 root admin - 68 Dec 4 03:36 Media Drive 1
drwx--x--x 2 root admin - 68 Dec 4 03:36 Media Drive 2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin - 1 Dec 3 20:06 Tapan-Mac -> /
drwx--x--x 2 root admin - 68 Dec 4 03:36 WINXP DATA
tapan-dalals-macbook-2:~ Tapan$
If someone could please help me fix the permissions and privileges it would be greatly appreciated... All my data is locked unside which i cant use... I tried connecting on my Wife's old Toshiba laptop and i can access the "WINXP DATA" partition fine...
Please help me out.. Thanks a lot in Advance..
