[QUOTE="katieanna, post: 1220581, member: 198584"] Hi all, Earlier on I accidentally knocked my (Seagate) external hard drive USB while I was moving my Macbook, so it effectively was disconnected without me having properly ejected it. Now I'm having problems. I'm in the middle of downloading something but my download won't complete because my computer doesn't seem to recognise my hard drive is plugged in. I get this message "The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off", with an exclamation mark. I've tried using Disk Utility to repair the drive, but the problem has not been resolved. Erasing the data on the hard drive is not an option! It's 500GB and almost full, with a lot of important stuff. Thanks for any advice! [/QUOTE]
