My external firewire (Rocstor) hard drive is inaccessible, but it still "mounts"!!
I can see it in my disk utilities, I can even search the files that are on the drive! But when I select a file it is an alias that I can't access. I tried clicking "repair disk" and it said "No repairs necessary"
The computer sees it but I cannot, and there is no way to access it.
This problem started when I selected "no access" (in get info) on a folder while something was writing to it. Then it said "read and write" but it was greyed out. I'm not sure if that's exactly what happened, It was really just a slip of my finger and then when I restarted, it was gone.
PLEASE help! This will be absolutely devastating if I lose this data. Is there any kind of maintenence that I can do? I don't know about this stuff.
