[QUOTE="lifegradient, post: 401921, member: 31756"] I just purchased a new 500gb seagate barracuda, along with a Smart-Drive mac-supported external enclosure. After assembly, I plugged it in only to find the dreaded "this disc is not readable" message. I go to the Initialize... menu, but I'm presented with no options to perform service on it. Finally, I got TechTools Pro and ran some tests. It informed me that the external hard drive was fully operational and in working order. Even still, I cannot manage to get my Mac to read the HD. Any suggestions? P.S. I'd love to try Disc Warrior, but frankly I don't have the cash for that venture at this time. [/QUOTE]
