[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1607848, member: 98520"] Doesn't sound good. Have you tried connecting the HD to another port on your iMac? Also, is the HD bus powered, or does it have an external mains power supply? If you listen with your ear held against the HD case, can you hear the drive spindle motor running? If your HD normally has a power light indicator, is this illuminated? If you launch Disk Utility can you see the HD, if you can, is the volume grayed out? Answering these questions will help determine what has happened and possibly provide a recovery solution. [/QUOTE]
