Mount Point?

Here's a quirk I need a cure for. My main drive was partitioned: a big one for apps and system; a smaller one for parallels and win apps. For some reason the big partition stopped mounting on the desktop. It's greyed out in disk utilities. Computer works fine, apps show up in the applications part of finder, but not on the left side. Not a problem until I downloaded a plugin and the application won't recognize it. I think it's because of this non-mounted partition. Any ideas on how to get it mounted and active?

Thanks

You can try turning off computer and disconnecting all external drives. Unplug the computer. Wait 10 minutes. Plug it back in and boot up. If that doesnt work then boot up with your OS install CD and run disk utility from that. If that doesnt work, then go get Disk Warrior and run that.

I think I have found a great work-around: use a different computer. The plugin is recognized just fine on my laptop.

A plug-in shouldn't bring your whole drive down. Something is not right here

Yeah, Dale...what you've got isn't a workaround. Unless you're saying that your drive partition is back after dumping the plugin.

Yes, mea culpa. The good folks at Apple suspect the Parallels partition might be the culprit. That Parallels somehow things the main partition is a...what do you call it...remote drive or server? I have trashed all the stuff in that smaller partition, deleted that partition so now there is only one, but the big partition is still not mounting. It's not to the left of the finder window and in disc utilities it gives a mount point of "/". So I'll try to other tactics mentioned here. Thanks again.
