All may External USB hard drive doesn't mount

Hi,

Something weird is happening with my mac.
My mac is a MacBook Pro 2.6 early 2008.

Last night i was using my mac in battery mode and my macbook pro just turned off wihout warning me that the battery is almost empty. i was trying to deplete the battery to get a better performance with the batt.

What is happening is that i have an external usb drives with NTFS and it doesn't get mount. The console error is:

09/04/24 22:56:27 diskarbitrationd[82] unable to mount /dev/disk1s1 (status code 0x00000047).

Click to expand...

The drive appears in Disk Utility but whenever i try to mount it via DiskUtility it says that the drive can't be mounted.

I also have VMWare fusion and the drive is mounted in windows (via VMWare), and everything is fine with its contents and filesystem. This is weird!!

I really need your help guys. Anyone, please?

I also tried with my other external usb drive and the same behavior is happening.

Thanks in advance,
djorge

Hi TXBDan,

i end up reinstalling Leopard due to lack of help.

But in my case i was able to see the usb disk in VMWare fusion with windows xp. But on Leopard only DU seems to know it and i couldn't mount it.

I have a TimeCapsule and now i can say from experiente that TimeCapsule sucks for full restore. I had to wait 300 hours (with ethernet cable).

what happened in your case? Right after installing Windows 7 RC1? My problem started right after the hard shutdown.

Maybe you should try to install the next update of leopard that will be released next friday (https://www.macrumors.com/2009/05/05/os-x-10-5-7-due-for-release-on-friday/) and see what happens.
