[QUOTE="Sparhawk_16, post: 1007292, member: 140642"] I'll start off by saying I did a quick search for this problem in this website and found a similar problem, but no resolution. So I'll make a new thread. Any help would be much appreciated. Here's what's up: I have a 500GB Western Digital External HDD that's not showing up in my Finder. I've used it countless times before, but now it just won't show up. It shows up fine in Disk Utility, but not in the Finder. When I tried using the First Aid in the Disk Utility, it gave me the message "Disk Utility stopped repairing “My Book” because the following error was encountered: Filesystem verify or repair failed." Any ideas? And yes, I've tried unplugging and restarting my Macbook Pro. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks! [/QUOTE]
