External Hardrive Suddenly Stopped Being Recognized On Local Server

[kylenormandin]

Hey guys,

First off, I want to thank everyone in advance.

So, I work at a photographic studio and we have a local net work setup. My computer is the one with all the hard drives connected to it. We have 5 WD HDs "daisy chained" together. All of them were seen over the network, the other two computers had no problem connecting to them; everything was fine. One day, one of the HDs in the middle of the chain stopped showing up on the network. It works fine on my computer; I can read and write it. When I look at the INFO on it, under "Ownership & Permissions" it states "You can read and write", but it does not have a "Details" sub-menu which means I cannot change the status of the drive (not sure if that is completely relevant).

As I said, everything was working fine and one day the other two computers stopped seeing that HD over the network.

We are running two G5s and one Imac. Not sure one the specs of any of them because I was not here when they were purchased. I can always looks and find out if it is of importance.


Thanks again,

Kyle Normandin
