[QUOTE="VerilySarah, post: 1315475, member: 219917"] I have a My Book 2 TB Hard Drive that I got in July. Not expecting things to go wrong so quickly, I put a few things on there without backing them up elsewhere, intending to do that as soon as would be possible. I did not get that chance and a few weeks ago I had to force a shutdown while it was running, and since then it just will not show up at all. I have tried it on my MacBook (10.5.8), my Mum's MacBookPro (10.6.?) and our iMac (10.7.2) and it does not appear at all, even in Disk Utility. I have tried resetting PRAM settings as suggested in other thread and I have tried the obvious turning everything off and on again several times over. I therefore have two queries: is there anything else I can try to make it work? and if not would I be able to recover the data myself or should I go to a technician? [/QUOTE]
