Well, I DID wipe the data from my external FAT32 HD, or at least tried to; using Disk Utility I selected HFS extended and journaled and hit the “Erase” button. Almost immediately I got a message telling me “Volume erase failed with the error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.” I can see the greyed disk’s numerical name and info shows it to be properly reformatted. But it won’t mount.

What now/

Thanks.
