[QUOTE="Melina635, post: 716733, member: 65694"] Hello everyone...I have a macbook pro, and up until today it always recognized my external hard drive by LaCie. Today, in a rush, I unplugged it before the icon disappeared. Well, now the LaCie doesn't appear on my desktop but a message does saying "the disk you inserted cannot be read by this computer". I click initialize which takes me to disk utility. when I go to disk Utility, it appears. I click verify, and it says "unrecognized file system".....please help me! I'm not too computer savvy. I've been searching all day online and everything seems to tell me to "change the case"...what the heck is that? How do you do that? Is that what I should even do??? I don't even care about my work stuff, but all the 1000's of pictures I've taken of my 10 month old son are on there....:( Please help Melina [/QUOTE]
