If you find out out how to get your hard drive mounted let me know. My hard drive show as being mounted; but whne I click on anything it tells me the drive is not available.

Thanks in andvance.

the drive is ntfs format, it the default that the seagate came in.

I just bought a second 1.5 tb seagate freeagent drive, these things are cheap on buy.com(not sure if that is a good sign or not);I have actually thought about reformatting the drive, the drive that is currently used is being used to back-up both a laptop and desktop; and the result has been that I a lot of rubbish is the folders (desktop icons, multiple songs?, etc.)

the thing that I really don't understand is that it worked perfectly fine on the afternoon of 5/4/10, I was listening to some music that I was streaming from it as well as uploading a college term paper, and it worked with no problem. then this morning when I went to access it, I could see that drive was mounted, but it stated that the drive was not available, nor were any other folders.

Thanks for the advice and the note on the odd files. the extra hdd that I bought came in last nite so I'll be using that one to back up my desktop and laptop, i'll most likely reset the current drive to "out of the box" condition and use it for the pogoplug. I'll let you guys know how it works out.
