I get an error stating The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.

And when I try to initalize, and verify disk, I get this message Partition map check failed because no slices were found.

One site I found stated that it could be that the USB port is not strong enough, and I would need a 2.0 Booster cable.

Does anyone know if this would work.

Check the SMART status of that drive in disk utility, if it doesnt come out as Verified then the drive is likely failing or has failed.

Its WD for Mac. I used it in my old Macbook pro which recently lost video, so I cannot plug it back into that one to check to see if it works in that one again.

However you may need to manually recreate the partition table.

Does the HD show up at all in disk utility I assume you have a second backup for this HD.

It was brand new.

I get the error about the partition and no slices being found.

Im really starting to worry that I wont recover all my photos from 10 years.

Can I have the data removed from HD by some other method to another HD.

If thats the case, youre fortunate you didnt get a Retina MBP because theres only one USB port on each side and the optional cable couldnt reach both.

Since it shows up in Disk Utility, does it list both a Media line and a volume line below it With the Media line selected, at the bottom of the window do you see line saying Partition Map Scheme.

So, I had moved my Iphoto library to the external HD, due to limited space.

I dont have good feeling about all this, but thanks for taking the time to try to help.

Taking a while. Once thats done, Ill check to see if it has a medial line and volume line.

It also still says on the media line that SMART is not supported, but it passed on the Western Digital Utility.

Any other ideas from here The fact that a media scan could be accomplished when connected to your MBP suggests the external is getting enough power to spin the drive.

SMART isnt supported via Disk Utility with a USB connection though WD has apparently found a way to read it with its own software none-the-less.

When you click on the unmounted partition line, does anything appear at the bottom of the window next to Partition Map Scheme And when that line is clicked, does the Mount button at the top of the window become active If it does, click it to mount the partition.
