I just bought a FireWire hard drive to store photos on. The problem is that my Powerbook Pismo won't mount the drive. The drive spins up and the Powerbook acts like it's thinking about mounting it (it slows down alot) but the drive doesn't show up. The drive does work perfectly on my iMac and the firewire ports on the Psimo are good (I connect my digital camera all the time). The Pismo won't mount it in either OS9.2.2 or in OSX 10.2.2.

any ideas?

I hate to say it, but when i reinstalled the OS, it was fixed.

Have you installed the software that came with the drive (if any)? What brand/model is the drive?
