My Book Studio II on MAC

Hi there,

My partner was previously using his My Book Studio II as a backup device with this MACBOOK PRO and an update must of occured on the machine…now this is what he is experiencing:

MACBOOK PRO OS 10.7 (LION)

  • When the drive is plugged into the MAC, the light flashes slowly, no drive letter appears and is not displayed in disk utility.

I then tried this on another mac os

MACBOOK 10.6 (SNOW LEOPARD)

  • When the drive is plugged into the MAC, the light flashes slowly, no drive letter appears and disk utility sees the device > ran a verify > cannot be verified will need to be repaired > ran a repair > cannot be repaired.

Have changed USB cables and tried Firewire too…

Can anyone help at all?

Trying to avoid a format as there is quite a fair bit of data on there…

Thank you in advance :smiley:

The update seems to have corrupted the partition. 

Look for a Recovery software and connected to the Macbook that runs Snow Leopard

See if you can retrieve all your files with a software.
