So mz HD was full and I decided to buy me a new one and put the old one in an USB Bay.
I have a PB 12' Rev. A, I had some trouble with the install but now I have system 10.2.3 running.
The problem is the system doesnt mount the USB disk at all.
During system install however the USB disk was mounted.

So what do you think is the problem?
The external bay looks very cheap I opened it, it has only two screws and there is still alot of space behind the disk so it could be that it doesnt fit right but I dont think it is.
Give some advice until I move forward to buy a new bay.

Could it be that disk died when I took it out of the PB, because there was one pin which wasnt straight anymore so I put it back as itshould be with the screwdriver, but that should be fine right?

OK I am waiting for your replies, because I need the data thats on it.
I would be very thankfull

BS

oh yeah Iput the disk on my pc and it could recognize the drive, it wasnt mounted but the system told me that a new usb mass storage device was plugged in

one more I do have diskwarrior, and I also tried disk utility, which sometimes saw the drive even when it wasnt mounted in X
