Hi all, I have a second hard drive on my powermac g5 dual 2.0 that I use for backup. I turned my computer on this morning and all of a sudden it is gone. Any idea how to get this back? I just tried launching Disk Utility, but it hangs on me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I checked my system.log for anything i could find. Here were some items I thought were related, but I am not sure what their relevance would be:

I believe the drive in question is called disk2s3
