OSX won't see hard drive...
So a friend of mine thought she could use her external time machine hard drive as a normal "plug in plug out HD to transfer other files"...
So what she would do was turn time machine off and transfer files, put them on another computer then put it back on her laptop and turn time machine back on...
something might be corrupted now because even though disk utility sees the drive, I can't access it... it won't let me "fix" permissions either.
She doesn't have a backup anywhere else so I didn't jump in and start messing with it for fear I might make it worse...
does anyone have any idea on what to try first?
Thanks
