I cannot reformat because you need to see the drive to do that and this was my way to back up things from smaller thumb drives which were full because of the items. If anyone knows what I should do to be able to see the drive, or to get the items off the drive, please let me know. Now, I'm at a very steady flash but still no mounting. It then slows and the light stops flashing all together. The light on the front flashes rapidly when I first plug it in and I can feel the hard drive moving. Today, I'm trying to use it and it will not mount. I have 14k songs and stopped it when I realized it was not loading after a few hours. Last night I updated it with everything from my designs, and projects and tried to do all my music. I am trying to use it on a Macbook Pro Retina 2015.
