I have a small, plastic enclosure Western Digital drive, partitioned into two logical drives: Backup and Gallery, 289.09 GB capacity. The drive /var/folders/-v/-vqcreI42RWjmE+BYurbb++++TQ/-Tmp-/com.apple.PhotoBooth-T0xa10240.tmp.7gaFuA/Photo 13.jpg.

Today out of the blue it does the following...
- One of the partitions (Gallery) mounts on the desktop; the other does not mount.
- Apple Info shows the hard drive
- Disk Utility does not show the drive or either partition
- It is possible to copy back and forth to the gallery that shows by dragging

Any thoughts? Just a dead drive? Nothing irreplaceable on it, but it's only about six months old. Thanks for any help.
