Hi there,
I have an iomega external hard drive that I've used on various Macs over the years. A few weeks ago, I plugged it into my iMac and got an error (I don't recall, I was in a hurry, didn't think anything of it, and got what I needed without using it -- I want to say though it bumped it off without me disconnecting it and gave that error about possibly losing files because it wasn't disconnected properly). Anyway, now that I plug it in and try to access the files, nothing registers. It makes a lot of funny noises, flashes the light forever, but eventually quiets down and just sits there with the light on.
Any thoughts? I swear I've had the worst luck ever with external drives. I lose information every few years!
