uh oh, I thought I was ejecting my camera, but it was my Seagate Go-Flex backup.

I selected it then used “move to trash”.

It’s gone from my desktop, and I don’t see it in trash.

I clicked on the Time Machine icon and clicked “Back Up Now”, but it says the backup disk is not available.

I was going to do a restart, hoping it would come back, then thought I should ask you guys first.

Hi, JohnnyP. I just sent you Freepmail on this. Not to worry. You just ejected the drive, not trashed it. Restarting your computer will remount it if its an external that is still plugged in. Or you can go to the GO Menu from the Desktop (make sure you click someone on the Desktop) and click on the GO and then select UTILITIES and then Disk Utilities. That will let you remount the missing HD.

You'll get it back with either option.
