[QUOTE="goodbyekitty137, post: 1425981, member: 262608"] I own a snow leopard macbook pro, and my external hard drive was working fine for years until yesterday when i plugged it into my friend's new OS X Lion mac pro to transfer some files. As soon as i plugged it in, a message popped up on the screen to ask whether or not i wanted to set this drive as time machine, and i clicked on no, then it completely disappeared from my friend's mac. i thought maybe it doesn't work on the new mac since it had usb 3.0 and my external hard drive is for usb 2.0. Then today i plugged it into my own macbook pro to watch movies in my external hdd only to find that it is not recognized. it doesn't even appear on disk utility, i tried resetting PRAM, but nothing seems to work... I have so many important files in this hard drive so i can't afford to lose all the data. Can someone please help me with this problem T_T???? [/QUOTE]
