I just purchased a WD MY Book external USB disk, I reformatted in UFS and

mount the drive. The blue light is on, so it seems to be getting power
but the computer does not see it when I plug in the USB cable. I can not
run fsck because the system says /dev/da0s1d no such file or directory.
I tried da0s1, da0s1c, and da0s1d no luck. I also tried to plug the disk
into another machine, same thing the disk is not recognized. Is it
totally gone? Any help to recover this disk would be really
appreciated.
Possibly, especially if you plug it into another machine and experienced
the same problem. When you plug the drive in, does the FreeBSD kernel
output anything? If so, what all does it output?

Hi Jeremy:
No messages from the kernel, nothing when I plug it in. It is not making
any 'clicking' sounds that you usually get when a drive dies. I just
don't get it. Maybe a power spike crushed it, but if so why is the light
on?
Thanks
