I have a Western Digital 120GB hard drive, and it runs off FireWire, and I can not get the computer to recognize that it is even hooked up. When it is hooked up, it is like it is not there. I have restared the computer and everything. Any ideas?

Surely someone must be able to help me out.

1) Does the system profiler see it?

2) do other computers see it?

3) does your machine see other Firewire devices alright?

If the answer to 1) and 2) is no, and the answer to 3) is yes, then your hard drive is broken.

What is it, though - a LaCie, or a Western Digital (LaCie generally doesn't indicate what brand drive they're using in their Firewire enclosures).
