Hi All. I was copying files from my Seagate GoFlex for MAC to a cloud based service when, all of the sudden, everything froze. after about 10 minutes I could move the mouse. I couldn't get anything else to respond. I couldn't even force quit other applications. I didn't know what to do. After about an hour of it not doing anything I didn't know what to do other than pull the plug on the laptop and wait for its battery to die before I pulled the HD out. More experienced users may have known of a better option, but nothing else came to me.
Anyway, after that the HD would no longer mount and it won't mount on other people's machines either. Does anyone know what I am dealing with here? Inerrupted processes? Corrupted files? Possibile data loss? What would a data recovery specialist do to help me get my files back? Does it sound like they're salvagable? Anything helps. Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Alex
