jedi_of_urthOkay, so the story goes something like this, I wanted to transfer some files from one of my external hard drives to my mom's laptop. However I clicked 'safely eject' for the wrong drive but didn't realize it until after I'd unplugged the one I was transferring stuff from. It worked just fine when I plugged it into my mom's computer anyway so I figured it hadn't been a problem.
But then I plug it back into my computer and it keeps telling me "device not recognized" and after trying to get it to work I tried it on my mom's computer again and now it would recognize the drive either. I've tried about every option I've seen when I searched for a solution and nothing has worked.
Yes, yes, I have a degree in computer science, but hardware is so not my thing it's not even funny. So anyone on my f-list who does understand this stuff? Help me out, please.
