I’m running into a real headache with this Seagate 2 TB Hard Drive I’ve been using as a multimedia player... It’s hooked up to my computer via USB, and everything seemed perfectly fine last night—I just turned on the radio to let some music play, and suddenly, the partition just vanished into thin air. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, and while macOS acknowledges the connection and it shows up in the Device Manager, it’s completely invisible in Disk Management. The drive itself seems to be spinning normally without any weird clicking or grinding noises, but I’ve had issues before where the partition would just disappear, though I usually managed to fix it using Norton... except now, even Norton can't see it. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? Should I try swapping out the external enclosure or something else entirely? This is pretty urgent since I'm currently traveling through South Korea and really need to get this sorted out...
