So I upgraded to El Capitan last week and had a lot of issues, So through a long painful (for non-techy me) process I've had to wipe my HD and go right back to Mavericks.

The problem I have now, is the Freecom external HD that I backed everything up onto isn't being seen by Mavericks - even though back when Mavericks was the current OS, it read the drive just fine.

Any suggestions? Any way I can make it force-see it? I've tried holding it up in front of the monitor and shouting, but nothing seems to work.

I also tried the switch off, pull out the iMac's power cable, wait 5 mins route, but again... no.

I've got to figure this out. All my work is on there. Any ideas?

Cheers.
