[QUOTE="ronlp, post: 127990"] I have a 2nd hard drive installed on my G5 that I mainly use as a backup, but also have a bunch of media on it that I brought over from my old system. The problem is that I just noticed the icon for it is missing from the desktop and it is no longer in the main Finder menu either. Anyway, I found it (or what was it) in the Disk Utility and the name seems to have been changed to "disk0s3" and it says it's 'not mounted'. I used the verify button and it came up error and said it needs repair, so I tried repair and it said it could not be repaired because of an error. Now I don't know what to try next to get it back (it was there last week). Is it possible that it could have been accidentally ejected off the desktop? Most of what is on it is backed up on CD and/or my main drive, but I'd still like to get it back working again. Fwiw, I'm using 10.4 Any suggestions appreciated. [/QUOTE]
