Help! I have a drive that's filling my life with great sorrow, and am desperately seeking advice.

The drive is a 4.5 gig Quantum, formatted in HFS format, which I was using as an external on my Powerbook. I just got myself a G4 (yay!), and figured I would just plug it in to the SCSI card, and transfer the files. But no such luck.

The FWB tools extension tests it at start-up properly, and reports no problems found. Once the computer starts, though, it doesn't appear on the desktop. Then, if I try using either SCSI Probe or Mt. Everything, they can find it and report on it (including even the vendor info), and tell me that the partition map sems okay, but if I try to mount it, I'm told that "Logical units not supported". If I keep trying to mount it, the computer will, sooner or later, crash.

And now, suddenly, it won't even mount on my old Powerbook! Aiiiieeee! Attempts to use TechTool or Norton are no good, since the drive isn't mounted in the first place. Sometihng must have happened to it while it was unplugged, but what? What's going on? And more important, how can I fix it? Any advice would be much, much, much appreciated.

Daniel
