How do I get my hard drive back?

Hello,
I have a duel drive G4 and have just migrated all of my programs and files to my 2nd drive and will use this as the new start up disk. When I finished all my migration and updates I wanted to hide the old drive so it would could be accessed. I moved the icon from the desktop to a folder in the new drive. I then dragged the icon of the old drive from the desktop to the trash and got the eject message. Now when I double click on the icon that I put in the folder I get a message saying "The volume can not be found insert disk or connect to server volume." When I go to sys. preferences the old drive no longer shows up in the start up disk location. How can I get this drive back? Have I screwed this up really bad?

Do you see the drive in Disk Utility? Go Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If you see it in the left column, select it and click Mount at the top.
Have you tried restarting?

  • I have 2 external hard drives, but can not view photos from 1 hard drive in LR5 now. I used this hard drive in LR5 before, but now it does not show up. How do I get the hard drive to show up in LR5?

    Any ideas on how to connect hard drive back into LR5?

    Hi:
    Let's see if I can help you, help me.    Operating system is OS X, version 10.8.5.
    The photos on hard drive (1) have never been removed from Lightroom (or have they?)They have not been removed from LR. 
    Could you explain why hard drive (1) stopped appearing in Lightroom, it must have been because you did something, otherwise the photos on hard drive (1) will still appear there.LR always worked great, until I had to upgrade my operating system to get LR5 to work.  Then it has been one problem after another. 
    So, once I ran into this problem and before we started to chat….I simply RE-imported all the photos from (1).  They came in fine, except none of their key words came along with them.  So my ability to find anything is "0".  It was bad enough to have to do the import all over, but the thought of having to re-tag 1000"s of images is overwhelming.
    Thanks for your patience.

  • How can I get my hard drive icon back on the desktop

    I just erased my hard drive on my Intel MacBook getting ready to give it to my daughter. I had the Snow Leopard install disc in the drive and used Disc Utility to erase the drive. I then installed Snow Leopard and everything went smoothly without a hitch.
    Other than -- the icon for the hard drive is not on the desktop! I can open a Finder window and see everything that should be on the drive after an erase and reinstall, but the drive is not there.
    How can I get it back?
    TIA
    I am so sorry! This question has been answered more than once. I searched but didn't find it. When I posted this, however, the list of similar questions that pops up next to the message sent me to a simple fix and now all is well.
    Again, sorry for having cluttered up the board with this question.
    Thanks.

  • How to start up from hard drive back up?

    I did a back-up of my HD yesterday using Super Duper. I now need to use that back-up copy but have no idea how I actually start it, or get into it? Do I need to shut-down, re-start and press a particular key ...
    Thanks for any help.
    Frances
    PS I used Super Duper to do back-up clone onto my LaCie Hard Drive.

    Thank you Ray. The LaCie back-up icons were displaying in the Hard Drive but now that I've shut down and re-started, they are no longer appearing and are nowhere to be found.
    *Hi Frances, Welcome (back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    You should always unmount external drives before shutdown. You may need to remount now and hope all is good. It should show up in System Preferences / Start Up Disk.
    Good Luck, JP

  • How do I get more hard drive space for my Macbook Pro?

    I am losing hard drive space and I don't know why? Is something writing or copying on my Macbook Pro?
      Thank you...

      The Hatter..This may be helpful information. I go to force suit and there is both Safari and "Safari web content not responding in red" and this may
    be the problem. I delete files and I get up to 50 to 50 MB and then it goes right back down to zero with no use on my part. I made a mistake by
    viewing **** on a CHatterbate site and I think that this may be the problem. How do I get rid of this virus, if that is what is happening> I ran Clam X and
    it did not find anything...Thank you, again.

  • How do you get your hard drive icon and external drives to show up on your desktop?

  • How can I get my hard drive up and running on my hp g62 notebook pc

    My hp g62 notebook pc just stop working one day. I had not used it for a while, when I started it up one day it was running slow then it stated hard drive was unavailable. Have I lost all my stuff? How can I fix?

    Hi,
    It may well be that the Hard Drive has failed, so try running the foolowing test.
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run a test on the Hard Drive.  Post back with the details of any error messages.

  • How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

    I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
    What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
    Please advise and thank you!

    Use a (powered) USB hub.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine).
    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple.   See:  Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

  • How do I get my hard drive removed?

    My macbook air suffered liquid damage and will no longer turn on. I took it to the Apple store in Chandler, AZ and they were unable to work on it. I bought a new Mac and want to sell the old one for parts on EBAY but I need to know if it has a hard drive I should have removed before I sell it.  The Apple store said there was nothing they could do to retrieve my data without me sending it in and paying a lot of money. Any advice on what I can do?

    You seem to be asking two separate questions:
    1.  Does my MacBook Air have a hard drive?  (Or does it have a solid state drive?)
    2.  Does my MacBook Air's storage facility still contain sensitive data?  If so, how can I remove it?
    I started to continue this with a long answer, but instead, here is the point.
    I suggest forgetting about selling the old one for parts on eBay.  Doing so would be like preparing a car for sale that had been totaled and reclaimed from salvage.  Your expense (time and money) is very likely to far exceed your gain.
    There is basically no parts market for a MacBook Air.

  • How do I get my Ipod driver back in my device manager?

    Ok, it goes like this:
    Brand new Ipod, replacing one that was permanantly locked up, is not recognized by my cpu. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, have checked for viruses and spyware, have done every thing tech support and this site suggested to a letter.
    A tech savvy friend of mine theorized that I may simply need the Ipod driver downloaded onto my cpu, and then the cpu would recognize the Ipod.
    Does this make sense, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
    Please and thank you...

    This might be the problem I'm having.
    My 5G 30GB iPod's working fine but isn't recognised by my computer. It won't even charge on my computer. I've tried it on another computer and it works fine.
    I've uninstalled, re-installed, done everything i can find on the support pages and it still won't work. The USB ports on my computer are fine as my mobile phone connects and charges and synch's with my pc just fine in the same port.
    I've switched ports as well.
    Uninstalled any newer programs that may have caused the problem since i last connected. Nothing!
    What is going on Apple - sounds like a lot people are having the same sort of troubles.
    Edit - it's now charging, but still not recognised...

  • Transfer old mac files from external hard drive back onto my mac

    I just had my logic board replaced by Apple, out of warranty, on my 2008 Macbook pro. As advised by Apple, I had another computer store copy my entire hard drive onto an external drive as a backup. The guy at the other computer store wiped the hard drive on my computer and I sent it away for the repair.
    I have my laptop back but for the life of me can't figure out how to copy my external hard drive back onto my macbook. Please help??!! I have already been without my computer for the 10 days it took Apple to do the repair and need to get my work done. The guy at the computer store said he made an exact copy of my hard drive. He also said that since my external hard drive was a little older (never used but purchased a few years ago) it might take a few hours to copy because it took him a few hours to get the files off my mac. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Why don't you attach the HDD with your data on it to your MBP and then drag and drop your folders to your restored MBP.
    Ciao.
    When you say that he made an exact copy of your MBP HDD, is it a clone with the OS on it?  If so you can use Disk Utility>Restore to copy the information to your MBP.

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.
