Hello,
Doing some google searches, I see a lot of quirks about USB drives and I unfortunately seem to have run in to one of my own.
I use a Seagate Pocket Drive. Last night, I ejected it as I was packing up, but forgot to actually unplug it and take it with me.
This morning I saw that it was plugged in but unmounted. A few moments later I got the "Device Removal" warning , despite not having unplugged anything and I got the grey restart screen.
When I rebooted, I ran software update and shutdown.
Now that I'm up and running again, the USB drive will not mount. Sometimes the activity light is on for a while and it still won't mount. Then suddenly I get the "Device Removal" warning again arbitrarily as I haven't unplugged anything.
Disk Utility does not list the drive at all, which scares me.
What happened? Did it get cooked overnight somehow? I'm bummed because I just picked this thing up a couple of weeks ago and it's been very handy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
