[QUOTE="pinkpostette, post: 1348838, member: 231484"] Hi all, So the last time I used this thing was about 8 months ago (I know, I haven't been keeping up with it) when my Macbook hard drive failed and I needed to put everything back on my computer. When I tried to do the automatic load from it, it kept crashing and wouldn't work. So I just manually transferred over most of my files from the external HD. Now, when I plugged it into the Mac it keeps coming up with a notification saying that it isn't recognized. It makes a humming noise and the light will turn on and off while it's doing that, but it won't show up on my desktop. I went to disk utility and tried to verify/repair the disk, but it keeps coming up with the error "Invalid B-tree node size" and "Volume check failed" and can't do anything. I left it overnight to try and erase it because I don't need anything from it and thought that might help, but when I came back to it this morning I didn't see any notifications and noticed that the disk name changed from "disk1s2" to "disk2s2" and it still won't appear on my desktop. I don't know what else to try and I'm not savvy enough to figure out what people are saying on forums about it. :'( Does anyone have any ideas of what to do? I don't really understand what RAID and Restore mean on it or if those will help it. I don't care if everything is off the EHD, I just want it to work so I can back up my Macbook! Help, please?
