I have a relatively new external 1TB USB 3.0 Samsung HD drive that I use with Time Machine and have a lot of other files on.
A problem started coming up this week. Every time it's plugged in, it mounts on the desktop, then within 30 seconds will disappear with the alert "The Disk was not ejected properly..."
I want to run the Disk Utility to figure out if there's a problem with the drive, but it won't stay active on the system long enough to do that.
Any ideas? Maybe it's just that the drive failed. Any solutions on getting my files off if it did fail?
Thanks a lot
