Smartdisk firelite Hi my firelite 120gb smartdisk will now not mount on my mac or anywhere else. It used to. I can see it in disk utility but can't see it on my desktop. I've got important files on there I'm not too sure what to do or how to solve it. I might of messed it up as I was trying to have read only privledges on it by going into more info. I hopethere is someone who can help me solve this issue. best regards vim

    Just a quick note. This problem is not limited to the Mac OS. I have the same problem with the SmartDisk Crossfire on the Windows OS. (I've replied in detail in a similar problem listing.)



    It's a shame because I really liked this drive when I first bought it. It was easy to use the first time. I don't need the data that I backed up on it, luckily.

How do I reformat my smartdisk firelite external hard drive for my new mac?
Go to the applications folder and then utilities open Disk Utility in the left box select you firelite and then clcik on the erase tab to your right. You can then select how you are going to format the hard drive standard for using with Mac only machines is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or if you want to use with both PC and Macs is MS-DOS (FAT). Then name your drive and click on erase. Hope this helps.

I have an 120gb exteranl smartdisk firelite that will not mount. I have tried diffrent cables and have repaired my permissions on disk utility (i own a power book mac). Any ideas?
The operating system should automatically recognize the drive.
Take your drive to Radio Shack, along with the cables you have tried.
It is possible that you are using the wrong cable.
Another thing you could try is plug it into another computer. If it works on someone else's computer and not yours, you'll know that you have a problem with your operating system.

My mac computer do not reades or recognize my external hard drive 60GB smartdisk from firelite
well. Open Disk Utility in the Applications folder under Utilities and see if it shows up and possibly mount it from there. Also open the System Profilier (also in the utilities folder) and check under USB - if that's how it's connected.
