[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1265732, member: 46727"] Why were you using NTFS Mounter to write to the drive? If the 500 GB iOmega drive was able to be written to from your 13" MBP before you installed NTFS Mounter it must have been formatted as FAT-32 or HFS+. NTFS Mounter is for writing to NTFS formatted drives not FAT-32 or HFS+. According to the image you attached of Test Disk, it's telling you that the drive is read only. (RO) You probably need data recovery software which is going to be expensive. I suggest downloading a demo copy of [URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue 3[/URL] and see if it can extract your data off the drive. [/QUOTE]
