[QUOTE="tngrocks, post: 1286101, member: 212449"] Hi, I have a 500gig WD external hard drive. I apologise if this is the wrong forum to ask this. I've been using it for a little while on my mac and pc. It is partitioned to work on both computers. When I open it on my pc only the 'pc' partition shows. When I open the drive on my mac the 'pc' and 'mac' partitions show and I can access everything. Now however I can only access the drive via a pc. When I plug it into my mac the hard drive buzzes, the wd passport opens but not the actual drive and I cannot access either the 'pc' or 'mac' partitions. They do not appear on the desktop or in the disk utility. Help! Please. [/QUOTE]
