I am not sure what I did but I used carbon copy cloner to copy my laptop over to a firewire 3.5 HD. I then proceeded to reinstall my laptop. Now I can't mount the external HD! Everything is on there. It sees it in Disk Utility but won't let me mount it! I can repair it and verify it but can't mount it! I have a ton of work on this drive and need it back. What can I do.

    Are you sure it's not something simple like displaying the drive icon on your desktop. I'm not in front my mac right now, but I think if you go to view/preferences on the desktop, there's a check-box for this.



    Does the external drive appear in the hardware profile?



    Can you boot off the external drive?



    Did you check to see that your backup on the external drive worked before doing the install on your internal drive?
