[QUOTE="BLCKW203K, post: 835658, member: 52839"] Alright. I have a 640GB Western Digital MyBook Essential edition. I also have an Intel iMac. I dropped it and it would come up and say it couldn't be recognized. It won't even let me erase it or format it. I tried to plug it in again today and a gray screen comes down over my computer and says I must restart my computer by holding down the power button. Then when it restarts it will come up again unless I unplug the hard drive. When the computer reboots it comes up with the error report and says the computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly. I also tried my roomates MyBook and it did the same thing. Why is this happening? How can I format my external so I can use it again? And is there anyway I can recover the memory on it? Thanks. Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
