I haven an external firewire hard disk which worked fine both under Mac OS X 10.2.8 and Panther. Suddenly it doesn't mount anymore on both systems. When plugged in Mac OS X doesn't show the drive in the Finder and Terminal can't find ist under /Volumes/. Disk Utility shows the drive type and the partition, but says that the partition is not mounted. Clicking on the "Mount" button doesn't help. A verify says that the disk appears to be ok. Does anyone have a clue what to do? Thanks in advance!
