I seem to have lost the ability to mount usb hard drives?
Anyone any clues? Doesn't show up in disk utility or anywhere else. |
No I re-installed and changed bios for my mobo.

Hey,
you can try: a) disable legacy usb :) b) Leave the device plugged for at least an hour and don't touch anything, hope it mounts, and then repair it (in case it's having a problem -- can you mount it on windows) |
Try to load the IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext manually:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext I gotta do this every boot up to get USB storing devices to work. |
Try adding -f to the boot.plist file
com.apple.Boot.plist that will force the extentions to load at boot, You can also reinstall them with kext helper it may be a permissions problem |
Hmm, been away for a bit and tried a new install using 9.0.1, heaps more stable on my sys but the HD prob still playin up. Now it's causing finder to crash. Will try these ideas now.
|
Nope, no joy there either.
When I booted with the drive turned on it would mount but finder would crash immediately. And when I turned the drive on after booting it wouldn't mount but showed in SP. I've just tried manually loading the kext and also -f and now when I boot with the drive on she won't mount at all. Weird. I've used DW4 to fix this kinda prob I had with the previous installs but it seems to return. Really wouldn't mind trying to figure this one out. Anymore ideas?? |

is there any other bios revisions available? See if someone else is using the same board without that problem ask them the bios revision. |
