[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1083029, member: 46727"] Will Disk Utility allow it to be erased and formatted? Don't actually do it, just see if it can be. If DU won't erase and format it, the drive probably has failed. If you have valuable data on the drive that you need, it may be possible to extract it with special software. [URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue 3[/URL] is very good at that and can be downloaded as a trial version to test with before buying. Regards. [/QUOTE]
