![]() I'm shocked that they hide it from Disk Utility while it's happening though - much better would have been to display the drive there without mounting the partition, and display a message that this is being done. My guess is that since this is formatted HFS+ Journaled something about the journal consistency got flagged and the OS is attempting to repair it from the journal. I'm running a repair on it now - fingers crossed. When I force quit that process in Activity Monitor (it's owned by Root so you'll need to give it permission), the volume immediately appeared in Disk Utility. After a little more digging I found that the OS is trying to repair the volume BEFORE letting Disk Utility see it via an process named "fsck_hfs". Like the original poster I cannot see the drive in Disk Utility but it does show up in System Information. I just started having this exact same problem with my FreeAgent Go drive which has always been working perfectly. I have removed all USB drives, did a warm reboot, a cold reboot and even a reboot in safe mode: no joy.Įverything I have searched for has something about not being able to boot and the fix is repairing the disk via recovery console. I have checked my console logs and the only thing that comes up when plug in the failed drive is the error message Here's the kicker: I have another FreeAgent Go drive, exact same model and size as the one that dosen't work, and if I plug it in to the exact same dock, it works. It also works on another Mac (MBP 10.10.3) I go back to my iMac with 10.10.3 and nothing-it's like it dosen't exist. ![]() In fact, I plugged it into a Surface RT of all things and I was able to read and write with no problem. If I plug it into another computer, it works perfectly. However, in system profiler, it shows up under the USB, but not under the storage. ![]() This morning, I saw a message on my desktop (I didn't shut down) that I failed to eject it properly. ![]() ![]() I use it to keep files that I don't access on a regular basis and as a place to do "quick backups" of things like my Paperless library or my Lightroom Catalog. I have a Seagate FreeAgent Go drive with the optional docking station. ![]()
