[QUOTE="Fernie61, post: 1265625, member: 207849"] Hey I hope someone can help me asap! I have a 500gb Iomega external hard drive. I had written on it earlier with my 13" Macbook (running on snow leopard). But recently it appeared as read only. I read online that the writing feature had been disabled for no reason. I saw some ways to mount the hard drive using Terminal but since I don't know much about that I didn't want to do it. So I found NTFS Mounter. I downloaded it, installed it, and everything was Ok, i started copying files to my hard drive. Suddenly, the hard drive sort of blocked. It now says it has 0 files (although according to the available space, my files are still occupying space) and I can't write on it even when using NTFS Mounter. I connected my Hard Drive to my PC, running on Windows xp, and it says it can't be opened because it is illegible or damaged. Please help me! I'm panicking, i have 250 gb of files there, and I really need to backup my macbook since i've only got 14 gb left. [/QUOTE]
