No one has an idea on this?

Presume this is a USB drive?
Does the drive show up in System profiler or Disk Utility?

[gangaspeed]

Firewire 400 actually.

Disk Utility: No

System Profiler: Yes

[Waragainstsleep]

Odd. It looks like a USB issue that caused the crash. If you can't see it in DU at all, the drive may have failed. Can you test it elsewhere?

[gangaspeed]

I connect using firewire, you mean firewire issue. I will try it on another computer if I can. this is poopy I just bought this like a week ago.

I was curious and signed out of my account and onto a basic Test account that I have from another thing.

Ran Disk Utility and the drive shows up but shows this in the Information area:

.........Disk Description : Maxtor..........................Total Capacity : 298.1 GB (320,072,933,376 Bytes)

Try formating it in Disk Utility.

[gangaspeed]

How would I do this? Will this make it show up in my other user account also, and will I lose data on the drive?

[Nivag]

You use Disk Utility to format the drive. Judging from you have posted it suggests the Maxtor isn't formatted and therefore doesn't have any data on the Hard Drive - If you know this to be wrong then I wouldn't format it and try it on another machine.

If you haven't got any data on the Maxtor then follow the URL below to format it.

Formatting & Partitioning a Hard Drive in OS X - Tiger

You just need to follow the instruction up to step 8, unless you want to partition the drive as well - but best to see if it works first.

Remember formatting will erase any data on a hard drive
