Hi All ..
I have a problem & I would appreciate help from expert users here
I have an external hard disk & it was working fine with my MacBook Air (Mac OS X 10.6.8) I could carry my mac with the external hard plugged in & move to another place without it unplug..
However lately,I noticed there are many sudden "unplug" within any move or with no move..I get the message that it was unplugged & I should have pressed "Eject" before unplugging it..at such cases,I used to plug in instantly then eject properly and it would work fine for some time later..
Days ago,I got the message of the disk unplugged but whenever I try plug it in again..it never shows in the finder..
however by pressing

I tried to see if the external disk works on another pc & it worked fine..also I used another USB on my mac & it was detected in finder normally..
I also tried Disk Utility but the external hard didn't appear there.

Do have any suggestions for me??
