Hi guys, I'm desperately in need of some help!
I have been working on a documentary and have been storing all my high definition video (captured from the Canon 7D SLR cam) onto an external hard drive. I have started editing this footage using Final Cut Pro. I then saved the project and turned off Final Cut. I then came back later, started it all up and realised that my external hard drive was not showing on the desktop anymore. I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's now un-recognisable. Here's my set up...
I have a Western Digital Elements 1TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive connected to my iMac. I am currently running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8, with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
The hard drive has not been dropped or hit in anyway. I have had it for about 4 months and it has never given me any problems. It was not un-plugged from the iMac suddenly either.
I tried disconnecting the hard drive and plugging it into my macbook, and it still didn't show up (but it usually does). I then took the drive and tried to connect it to a windows PC...again, it didn't show up. It did however, seem to mysteriously stop the internet connection from working. Every time it was plugged in, the internet stopped working. When we took it out then the internet would work immediately. ? ?
Can anyone help me please?
As long as I can recover the video footage I'm happy. There is a lot of irreplaceable work on there.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks guys!
