[QUOTE="chscag, post: 896551, member: 46727"] To the OP: When you "initialized" your external HD from the PC, you wiped out all its partition information and the data. See the [URL="http://www2.cit.cornell.edu/computer/system/helpmac/initial.html"]following article[/URL] and take special note of the [B]BOLD[/B] warning. Your only hope of getting your data back is by using a data recovery utility. Disk Utility will not work. You may be able to use "[URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue II[/URL]" from ProSoft. However, it's a bit pricey at $99. Word of caution: Do not mount or use the drive until you're ready to recover the data. Regards. [/QUOTE]
