I have MB and EHD. I had some movies that I transferred from MB to EHD and the I hooked up EHD to Western Digital WDTV and tried to view a few movies and it worked.

I unplugged external hard drive and hooked it back up to the MB put MB isnt reading the EHD now
I tried resetting computer, unplugging ehd
What should/can I do?
