[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1540805"] At this point, I hope you have a backup of the iTunes stuff... About the only suggestion I can make at this point is to unmount and try remounting the drive again and hope that this time the formatting is found. If it's formatted NTFS or FAT for both Windows and Mac, and if you have a PC handy, you might see if it can be seen by the PC, then back up the drive to the PC, bring it back to the Mac and see if it can be mounted/formatted so that the tracks can be put back on it. You might also look for [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS[/URL] to help in writing to NTSF formatted drives. Natively, the Mac can read, but not write, to NTFS. OSX can read and write to FAT formatted drives. [/QUOTE]
