Hello, I have a slight problem, I have an external HD and my MAC could read it but couldn't write anything on it(it was formated on PC) so I bought this program from Paragon so that I can write on NTFS formated HD's, BUT before I did this I did alittle cleaning and emptied my trash, over 13gigs, so I thought I was going something good but now I cannot read my external HD and some programs won't work....*** did I delete something I wasn't supposed to?? I went in the searh engine to see if anyone else had this problem but no luck. This is what I did to try and fix the problem: I went to the Disk Ulity and I can see the external HD so I clicked verify disk, repair disk, and nothing. It's not showing up on my desktop but I can see in the Disk Ulity, also with yahoo messenger I erased the old one and download again but it will only show up in disk ulity but will not launch or anything. Did I delete something that was in my trash that I might of needed to launch and see what I'm trying to do? The reason why messenger is so important I am a soldier, and that is the main way me and my wife commuicate. I have a G4 Powerbook 1.5GHz 2gb I bought in 05 it never gave me problems :) until now:( so if anyone had a problem like that before I would appreciate any input or help. Thanks for taking 2mins of your life reading my problems :)

In Disk Utility can you use the mount button to mount the disk.

Also, if a friend as a windows pc, run Chkdsk on the disk

If yu have downloaded yahoo messeneger and it appears as a disk on the desktop, copy the application over to your applications to get it to work properly, also frag its icon from applications and add it to the doc.
