External Drive Stopped Working
I have a Western Digital WD5000H1Q-00 that has been working for 3 years. It suddenly is no longer operational. That is, the LED no longer flashes when I boot up (in fact it does not light up at all) and it doesn't show up on the Finder window under Devices. I have an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) Kernal Version Darwin 10.8.0
