If by that you mean it should appear on the desktop, the fact is
that it didn't. In actuality, it never was "disconnected" (by me
anyway) It just vanished off the desktop. I checked the connections
and cycled the power on the HD, and not until I rebooted the E-Mac
was it visible again.
I think Cad is suggesting that you unplug the connecting cord between
the computer and the drive. That should remount it.
Also, did you try Disk Utility? It works just like SCSI Probe to
remount a drive.
What caused this to happen in the first place could have been an
inadvertent "ejecting" at some point when you "right clicked" the
desktop icon.
Aside - I have no idea why my last reply to this thread was repeated
so many times. I only sent it once, in fact it is listed as having
been sent only once in my Mail client. Something outside my control
caused this to happen. I hope that this reply does not cause a
recurrence. - DH
