I have an 250GB segate ide usb external harddrive that I used for timemachine, and all was well, until one day I was reformatting it and half way through writing the partition map my girlfriend closed my macbook... I've tried everything in the books to repair the hd but nothing has worked.. I've used apples, microsofts and unbuntus boots cds, disk utility, disk management, Norton partition magic 7, but nothing can fix it... (I ruled out that it was the external case/wiring by replacing it with a different harddrive which worked fine) &&& I dont know much about hdd's but its set to master, (I dont remeber if I had changed that or if it was working before like that)..
Its become a life goal to get this danm thing to work without paying retail price to fix it... heres a shot of it in disk utility, it took 20minutes after I plugged it in to show but, no option to do anything to it..
Please let me know if someones had this problem before, and what they did to resolve it,
Or if someone wants to help me make this dream come true and help me one on one I'm willing to dish out some money for your time,
thank you in advanced
