Lacie drive not spinning up!?
I fear the worst has happened already & there is no way out of this except to replace the drive. A reformat i believe is even out of the question.
So I was transferring data from one drive to another, I left for work. I came back and I see the Mac OS warning 'You need to restart your computer' I never like seening this. Anyway I start up and 3 of my 4 lacie drives start. the one in question doesn't even spinup. Silent, I paniced. But then a little activity. It was trying to spinup but not finishing. a few revolutions but stopping. There is also a small clicking sound in the drive.
The drive doesn't mount as it can't spinup. therefoe it doens't show on system profile or other software. I even tried single user mode but I don't how to search for drives in single user mode. I also think that single user mode won't work.
Any help at this point is agod send.
Thanks for anything,
Max
