[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1807803, member: 396914"] if it's formatted ExFat, you can try to fix it with Windows just fine. In fact, you can try to get your files off using Windows, put the files on a different external device (drive or thumb drive) and use that to get them back to the Mac. Wiping it may make it work for little while, but from what you have described that drive is dead/dying and I would NOT trust it. [/QUOTE]
