[QUOTE="foomkin, post: 1064990, member: 161293"] Hi: I've gone through the threads here and have gathered some valuable info, but I can't find anything that addresses my specific problem. I have an external hard drive plugged into a USB hub (with independent power source). Recently I (unfortunately) shut my imac down without ejecting my external hard drive, and now I can't get it to mount unless I plug it directly into the back of my imac. It simply no longer mounts when plugged into the hub. Problem is my keyboard and wacom are plugged into the back of my imac, and neither work through the hub. I'm really stuck here because I use my wacom as my mouse, so no matter what I do, I'm without either my wacom/mouse or my keyboard if I want to mount my external drive. I've used DiscWarrior on the external drive, but it still won't mount through the hub. Am I running into some other hardware problem here? Any suggestions? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
