    Posted by Ricardo Spencer on July 30, 2009 at 4:50 am

    Hi guys,
    I was exporting(using Compressor) a huge movie file (shot on RED, about 40GB) from a 2.0 usb Seagate external hd to my desktop. An error ocurred and I had to force quit everything. Since then, the relationship between the exernal hard disk and the computer it’s mostly of freezings, and Finder quitting.
    Is there anything I can do? Maybe delete some file to refresh the finder acceptance… don’t know.
    Any help would be very apprecciated.
    Thanks,
    Ricardo

    Run disk warrior on the drive.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    Thanks, Zane.
    I got Disk Warrior. The problem now is that the drive is not recognized, at all.
