Here they are all together: This is when the icons for the external USB HD's disappear I don't know what's going on, but I haven't been this frustrated with an OS since I left work!

Moved mouse, hit keys on keyboard, even pushed in power button for a second to wake it. Nothing. So I held in the power button and I heard it shut off. Push it in again and it started back up. Oh, and I plugged back in my firewire HD that I use as Time Machine and it mounted just fine and isn't giving me the grief the USB ones are.

John Rougeux Here? Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5031	Thanks, I'll check it out when I go home for lunch. My wife called and asked what was up with my computer. Apparently the desktop is up but there is the spinning beachball.

John Rougeux Here? Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5031	I don't have DiskWarrior to do that with, so that option was out. For me, the quickest and easiest option is to do a clean install first. If it continues after that, then the Apple Hardware test, if I have that.
