I have a firewire hard drive with 2 partitions, one mac, one windows. I had been using it to create a dvd with idvd. I was copying the dvd from my mac to my windows box. It crashed (or something) so I rebooted. After boot, low and behold, I cannot see my mac partition. I see the windows one just fine. I load up disk utility, it shows both partitions. I verify and repair the partition, both say no problem. I click the mount button... nothing. I can unmount and remount the windows partition, but the mac partition does nothing. No matter how many times i click mount.

So I disconnect it and connect it to my pc. My pc can see both partitions. Theyre both healthy according to windows disk management...

What gives? How can everything say its ok, but not mount it? I don't get it. Thanks for any advice.
