Hi Severin, So just to confirm:
In Finder preferences: - Under the general pane, "show these items on the desktop:" you have a tick against External Disks, but the disk doesn't show on the desktop - Under the sidebar pane, "show these items in the sidebar:" you have a tick against External Disks, but the disk doesn't show in the sidebar - Under the sidebar pane, "show these items in the sidebar:" you have a tick against "Sev's Computer" or whatever you call it - if so and you select the computer in the sidebar, does the disk show up in the next column (assuming column view) - for me my usb drive shows up here whether or not I have it set to show in the sidebar or on the desktop. In Disk utility: - The top level device is showing up and verifies AND - The next level volume(s) are showing as mounted (ie in black, not grey) Have you tried unmounting and remounting the volume(s) from the disk utility toolbar to see if that triggers finder to see it/them. Sorry, but that's all that comes to mind on this soggy Albany day. Cheers Neil -- Neil R. Houghton Albany, Western Australia Tel: +61 8 9841 6063 Email: n...@possumology.com PS.
