Hi,
I have a 10 gig ex-internal drive from my last powerbook. It's mounted into one of the transintl.com firewire cases. Somehow or another, it got placed ontop of my stereo speakers for about a week and a half. Needless to say, the drive no longer is very happy. BUT, it's SO unhappy, that I can't even get OS X to tell me that it can't read it. OS X just hangs until I unplug the drive, and then it tells me that it can't read it. I want to know how I can initialize this poor drive and get it working again. Any advice?

Thanks,
Gabe

You can initialize it using OS 9 for sure...

Can you hear it spinning up at all? Anything under OS X?

It spins up fine. The light comes on, everything. Except, it hangs os x until I unplug it. Ugh, there's no better way than booting into 9? I thought OS 9 was put it its coffin! Sheesh. Thanks,
