[QUOTE="stevegate, post: 521005, member: 39007"] [b]Finally it works again.[/b] Thank you for your advice, this works like charm. Howerver, I did find out the problem before I read your advice, but what you said is very correct. I had to stop time machine first and I plug out ext HD. I plug it in another my iMac and earse. Well, I had big problem here. The iMac did not regconize this ext HD either, I am not so worry because I bought this ext HD about 5 days ago and it is in warranty. The ext HD i bought was Seagate FreeAgent Go 160GB 2,5" . I bought this ext HD before I read the thread about Warning on Seagate HD. I don't know if this is error come from Seagate but I fixed it anyway. I had to plug it in another machine running windows, boot from Hiren 9.3 cd, and and go to Partition section, there are many kind of partition tools here. First I chose Partition magic pro, it did not work. What I saw is the yellow blank with the name BAD on it indicated on my ext HD, I could not format it either. It ran but error in the middle way. Then I chose another partition tool, Acronis Disk Director Suite. Well, with this tool I could see the optition Delete partition is visible so I delete partition and create a new partition unformatted. I plug it in my iMac again and now I can see it in Disk Utility. I erase my ext HD with Zero out data and I chose volume format is Mac OS Extended(Jourlaned). I took about 2 hours. After that I came back with my MBP and tried it on. I worked perfectly. Well, I am still confuse if this problem happended because of hardware?? I hope not, I bought this ext Seagate because I can have 5 years warranty. I hope this help for the one who have the same problem with me. Good luck and cheers. To the ADMIN: I am sorry that I put the title like that, anyway, I am new in this forum and did not read the rule so much. [/QUOTE]
