I got the old "OSX does not recognise the drive error".
Disk utility couldn't get it back, but I took the drive in to the dealer and he ran "disk warrior" on it - the disk made some bad clicking and there were some scary errors while disk warrior tried to rescue data ("hardware failure causing reduced speed" or something like that)
Anyway - we managed to save some of the data but over 100 gigs was lost. after disk warrior had done its thing, the drive seemed to work ok, but it needed to be manually mounted in disk utility - just plugging it in didn't get it to show up in finder... Anyway, I bought another drive and moved the resued data over, and left the old drive there to be dealt with under warrenty.
I never improperly eject the drive or anything - what a pain.
It is in for warrenty, hopefully they'll replace it and not just reformat it and say it is fine now.
anyone else have issues with these things? I thought they were the best...
