So I have a external hard drive I loaned to a friend so she could watch a couple movies on her mac (I used xp) soon after giving it to her she said it just didn't work any longer. Long story short, time machine somehow got on it/did something to it/I dont know. When I plug it into my pc/xbox it will no longer come up in My Computer but it does make the connect sound and comes up in the icon bar as a "safely remove hardware" icon. I don't really know what to do, at all. I would like to save all the data seeing as I have spent a lot of time amassing it but from what I have heard that may not be possible. Either way I need to get something going on it. If anyone has any idea's please help me out. Anything will be helpful. Thank you!
