Hi, first I like to say any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm not super computer savvy so please bear with me.
Yesterday I moved my computer setup to another room in my house. I'm on a iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 computer running OSX 10.6.8. I also have a 2 year old WD 2TB external HD 1021 which has been serving as storage for all my photos/videos.
I haven't had any issues with anything up until the move. When I plugged everything back in my external HD wasn't mounted. When I open Disk Utility it sees the HD but everything is grayed out (Verify Disk Permissions/Repair Disk Permissions, etc.) When I get info on the drive it says the following:
Name : WD Ext HDD 1021 Media
Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : Unformatted
Disk Identifier : disk2
Media Name : WD Ext HDD 1021 Media
Media Type : Generic
Connection Bus : USB
USB Serial Number : 5743415A4134323431323132
Device Tree : IODeviceTree:/PCI0@0/EHC2@1A,7
Writable : Yes
Ejectable : Yes
Location : External
Total Capacity : 2 TB (2,000,396,746,752 Bytes)
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
Disk Number : 2
Partition Number : 0
I have no idea why this happened and have been searching the web for a solution but can't seem to find anything.
Again, any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
