    Seagate GoFlex FreeAgent for mac failure and possible data loss
    « on: October 16, 2014, 08:58:43 PM »

    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
