[QUOTE="tolucophoto, post: 993323, member: 142740"] Ive searched the forums but can't find a fix for this. I have an external LaCie drive that ive is pre-formatted as Fat32 so i can access it on Windows. Its worked fine on both Mac and PC since i bought it. I just plugged it into my Mac today and it wont mount. The drive is recognised in Disk Utility and ive tried verifying and repairing it, which is successful, but still wont mount. The 'Mount' icon is greyed out. I have the same problem on my other Mac. I don't have a Windows machine to hand but ive plugged it into my PS3 and it reads fine. I can access all the files. My main Mac is Intel running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and the other is PowerPC running Leopard 10.5.8. Anyone know what I can do to access the drive from my Mac? I used it recently to backup my Mac's HDD when i upgraded to Snow Leopard, so i know it works. Thanks [/QUOTE]
