the 250g wd hard drive icon disappeared from the mac desktop and list of devices, without being disconnected. It is still vibrating, 1 of the 4 lights remains on,I had the geek squad at Best Buy plug it in (with my own firewire) to another mac; the hard drive showed up but the computer didn't recognize it. Now what?
If they plugged it into a WinPC, the PC won't be able to read the drive.
More then likely the SATA-to-USB card in the drive has gone bad (like mine did.)
I ended up buying a rocketfish 2.5" SATA HD enclosure kit from BestBuy... now my drive works fine.
Good Luck!
check usb port and cable is damage . chang one buy one to check. in our practics hdd may be no damage . because we get many time wire and oport damage in same case.

is there a Western Digital storage solution compatible with Macs and PCs. We mainly have Macs and want an external backup solution / hard drive. We also want portable hard drives that can also work on a PC. Can you make suggestions please. Do you have any feedback regarding Macnally v Western Digital. Thanks heaps, Tara
