This is a little off topic, but maybe someone here has a tip - I accidently pulled an SSD out of an external drive holder (aka 'toaster') and now it won't reformat. In Mac OSx Disk Utility it fails after a long time trying unmount; can't seem to partition it using terminal commands, either. I tried formatting in Win7 on a USB 2, but it failed at the very end - now it mounts in OSx Disk Utility showing a completely 'full' partition, but still won't re-partition the drive. (fails during 'unmount.'
Disk warrior says the hardware is fine, but obviously doesn't do anything with the directory, since there doesn't seem to be one.
This is one of the faithful sandisk drives out of my 1st-gen cameras- which I no longer have, so I can't use them to format.
Anyone have an idea how to resurrect this drive? I obviously don't care about the media that was on it - just want to get it back into service.
thanks in advance.
