[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1713629, member: 307555"] Well since you were trying to access it and it sounds like it did not respond plus now disk utility does not see it, I would guess it has died. They do die and unfortunately they can crash and die fast or over a period of time throw errors the OS fixes until it can not. You can download Disk Arbitrator and see if it would force it to mount. Hopefully you have a backup as it does not sound good. There are expensive services to retrieve data from a dead drive if you really want the contents. Or you could try [URL="https://www.prosofteng.com/datarescue-mac-data-recovery/"]Data Rescue[/URL] or [URL="http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/"]Disk Warrior[/URL] but they cost. Lisa [/QUOTE]
