Ghost external HDD (OSX): nowhere to be seen
I need to retrieve a hard drive, which was used on Mac, but when connecting the drive it boots and lights-up, except that it doesn't mount, in fact it doesn't appear in my USB bus connection despite booting-up and making noises when connecting it.
Any idea why?
