Hi,
I have a Western Digital My Book 500GB Firewire/eSATA/USB 2 Studio Edition external hard drive that i bought 2-3 years ago. I've backed up a lot of data then and after that not used it at all until recently. I can't seem to get it to mount under OS X Lion, as soon as I plug in the power lead the white bar of light at the front of the drive lights up but only the top half of it, there are no noises and plugging in a USB lead does not show the drive on my iMac.
Can anyone advise please, there's tons of data and I have only used the drive literally a few times. I just checked and my limited warranty expired six months ago so I can't ask WD to help.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
