[QUOTE="Wmaph12, post: 1584550, member: 326505"] I am not 100% sure that it is fried, just an assumption given that the system can't access any info like bytes used etc. The other thing is I still have a hope that I could potentially access data off it one way or another once it was out. Whilst I do have a back up, the data is 2 months old and I have done some work that I would prefer to get back if I can (more fool me for not regularly backing up!) It's the OSX maverick (just did the update a couple of weeks ago). In recovery mode I can get to see the drive which is installed, but the repair option is greyed out. Any ideas how else I could try and check this (terminal commands maybe?). Cheers! [/QUOTE]
