One partition on an ATA drive I can't get to mount and wonder if there is someone who has had a similar problem and, hopefully, a solution. The volume does appear to exist: it shows up in System Profiler and in Disk Utility, though greyed out. I've tried to execute a mount through DU to no avail, had successful disk verifications and repairs, rebooted numerous times. Zilch. OS 10.3.3. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you run DiskWarrior on it?

The afflicted HD is internal, and the other partition comes up fine. I've tried DiskWarrior, which hangs on the final step and recommends I try another rebuild from the CD (which I don't have with me). The problem arose, I believe, after running hard drive tests with TechTool Pro. I guess if it weren't broke, I shoulda left it alone...

oh yeah:

rule #1: if it ain't broke, don't fix it
