I was watching a movie from my external hard drive on my macbook, the film suddenly stopped playing and my computer froze. The computer then went to sleep therefore the box saying drive wasn't safely ejected came up.
when i tried to plug it back in nothing came up, i tried disk utility to check if it was on there and still nothing. i even waited a while as sometimes it can just appear.
the hard drive makes quite rolling noises, and still lights up
I then moved onto plugging it into a pc computer where it makes a noise once connected, doesnt show up on my computer or the desktop, and not on device manager.
However one flicker of hope is that i found it on device manager and also when you go onto control panel it is in amongst the devices (next to printers). after searching through the settings of these areas I am stuck with how to make this back into how I normally use it (as a file)
Please help!!
