"No, but if I do, then what?"<br><br><br>When you boot to safe mode OS X repairs some things. It's possible Disk Utility would then mount the drive.<br><br>

The buttons were clickable before though, right? Maybe you need to reboot, seriously. Sometimes it needs to load the driver again or something for programs to be able access it. Doesn't always work of course, but it has for me on a few occasions.<br><br>------>#1 - JD's Trivia game<br><br>------>#2 - MM-MCF Trivia game

Just an FYI Safe Mode first runs Disk Utility on the boot drive only, if it can't fix the boot drive after 2 attempts it will shut the computer down. It turns off all non-Apple startup items and extensions, it turns off all log in items, and clears Font caches.<br><br><br><br>------>#1 - JD's Trivia game<br><br>------>#2 - MM-MCF Trivia game

Re: grey buttons. I was just wonderiong how you got DiskWarrior to give the error if it didn't start checking the disk after you clicked the Rebuild button.<br><br>Re: DataRescue running all night, doesn't look good.<br><br>By references I believe Zach means songs, podcasts, video, etc.<br><br>Zach trying to act all technical and stuff. <br><br>------>#1 - JD's Trivia game<br><br>------>#2 - MM-MCF Trivia game
