My harddrive crashed last night and since then I have not been able to access it on my Macbook Pro. I've restarted both my computer and hardrive multiple times and I've experienced the same result. It does not show up on my desktop (yes, external disks is checked in finder preferences) nor in Disk Utility but it shows up in System Information. The harddrive is also still blinking its light per usual and has not made any abnormal sounds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? – user47996 Apr 23 at 19:02

Could be either a bad hard drive, in which case the enclosure still functions properly and is recognized by System Information, or a failed enclosure in that it's not communicating properly with the hard drive. – Mr Rabbit Apr 23 at 19:12
Restart with CMD-R ! – Common-Courtesy Apr 23 at 20:23
