How to test a drive for defects or problems on a MacĀ 

this worked for meā€¦

Ā Ā Ā  1. Run "Activity Monitorā€ first and then plug in the problematic HD. Notice a program called ā€œfsck_hfsā€ suddenly starts up using alot of CPU power.

Ā Ā  Ā 2. Highlight this file and in the window that opens up, click on the ā€œquit" icon.

Ā Ā  Ā 3. The HD suddenly shows up on your desktop as usual and a window opens up saying that the drive is unrepairable, BUT you can copy/recover files off it and save to another drive. Breathe a HUGE sigh of relief and away you go!!!
