Have you tried plugging these two thumb drives into a different PC than this one? If so, are they recognized?
You have to remember that a MAC and a PC have two very different operating systems and, as such, see things - such as file formats - differently from each other. They are not automatically compatible.
What you have written to those two flash drives on possibly a PC will not necessarily be readable by a MAC computer. And you must be very careful, or you may have a problem trying to put them back into the original computer, if the MAC has scrambled the data.
Generally speaking you cannot do this. Flash disks cannot transfer data fast enough for video editing. You need to put the media files on a hard drive, preferable one with 7200 rpm (though some 5400 rpm drives will work).
Since the drive crashed in the middle of a data transfer it probably has a damaged directory. Try connecting the drive to your Mac and run DiskWarrior on the drive to repair the directory and allow the drive to mount.
Backup all your "data" from your 13.
Reinstall Mac OS, and then reinstall the WD software.
If you still have a problem, then you have a "hardware" problem with your 13 -- take it to a qualified Apple technician for professional trouble-shooting.
I solved the problem. It was a power supply problem. It seems after searching boards on the net, this is a common problem with the lacie hard drives. Just replace the power if your hard drive is clicking and not mounting. I think many people must be throwing the drives away thinking they are lost when it is just the power supply. Try this first before trashing it or spending a lot of money on data recovery programs/
