I've had my Seagate Freeagent 750GB hard drive running fine for months. Yesterday, I decided to hook up one of my Mac-formatted drives to the Pogoplug to make sure it worked and it did. Since then, though, there are no files or folders when I bring it up in Windows and OX X and it used to be named "Seagate" and now it's "Seagate Freeagent Pro". It also says the hard drive is 4TB. I've disconnected it from the Pogoplug and plugged it into Windows and OS X and both told me I need to reformat the drive.

Am I past the point of no return?

Why would hooking up a drive with a different format completely mess up the other drive?

Connect the drive to your macosx and run Disk-util.
See if it can recover it.

Plugging/unplugging drives without umounting(webUI's eject) them, always runs the small risk of drive-corruption. Whether it be Pogoplug, Windows or macosx.

Other than that, I'm not sure what could have happened here.
Also, I'm not clear if you had multiple drives plugged into the Pogoplug(which is okay to do).

The only limit to the Pogoplug is your imagination... and C skills... and linux skills. ^_^ h\t\tp://download.pogoplug.com/opensource/pogoplug-gcc.tar.bz2
