[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1315965, member: 46727"] You've done about all you can. Forcing a shutdown when a drive is running (accessing data) usually causes some damage. If the drive can not be seen at all by Disk Utility it's unlikely that special recovery software would work to gain access to your files. You can give it a try, however. [URL="http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/DiskWarrior-Download-14550.html"]Disk Warrior[/URL] may work. I suggest downloading a trial copy if possible otherwise it will cost $99. Taking the drive to a special drive recovery service is very costly and unless the data on the drive is critical, it's just not worth it. [/QUOTE]
