[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1649525, member: 46727"] I'm wondering if it was your Seagate external hard drive that caused your MacBook Pro to crash? If Disk Utility can not "see" the Seagate, it's going to be difficult to try to recover data from it. There are utilities which you can try using to access the Seagate, however, they're all very expensive and there is no guaranty that they will work. It's possible your data is OK but the electronics on the Seagate have failed. In that situation, the enclosure can be removed to expose the bare drive. Attaching the bare drive with an adapter to your MacBook Pro may allow extracting the data from it. Of course the drive itself may be defective and that method would not work. Without a backup of your Seagate, it's up to you to what you're willing to do to get at your data. [/QUOTE]
