I have a WD-Elements HDD (1TB)and it has worked perfectly for my mac until now. I just cannot see it in osx, it does not appear on the desktop or in finder.

I thought it was the HDD messing up so i tried it in Bootcamp and with Macdrive (the ability to see and edit mac format drives in windows) and it works perfectly, I tried to reformat it but i can't even access it from Disk Utility.

On the actual drive the blue light is flashing and it is making a sound as if it is being read, it just doesn't appear on the computer. I have tried restarting both the drive and the computer and it still won't work. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions i'd be very grateful.

Thanks.
