Problem with External Hard Drive - Really Need Help
Okay, so, I'm an idiot. While I'm good with computers in general, there are some territories I don't know too much about, and thus rely on my techie friends. Recently, one of those friends offered to let me borrow a rather large and expensive program. He was going to transfer said program to my external hard drive (a 1TB MyBook), but when he tried, it apparently wouldn't work because my drive wasn't properly formatted for the Mac, which is weird since I have a Macbook Pro.
Anywho, that's neither here nor there. He gave me some instructions, which consisted of exporting the files on the drive back onto my computer, go to Disk Utility, to the MyBook, and to Erase. He set it all up so I could do it after exporting the files, but I had to restart my computer at one point and lost the settings he applied. So, I guessed the Volume Format and selected "Mac OS Extended". There was an error, and now my computer doesn't recognize the MyBook.
So, I obviously did something wrong, does anyone know how to correct it? I hesitate to ask my friend.
