Ext HD not recognized by Mac/Pc
My HAMLET ext. hard drive no longer is showing on my desktop. I've not used it for a few years, but now need
something important of it and it doesn't show up on either macs i have (both using 10.4.11 OS) or a PC with windows 7.
The light comes on on the device, and I tried it in an ext USB port hub and also the slots on both macs. THe light on
the hub flashes as if it's reading it, the box hums along as it's it's being read, but nothing.
I looked up the specs online for the XX and it says no driver is needed.
