I have a PB G4 running OSX 10.4

I'm using a Lacie d2 400GB drive, which does not mount since I tried to update the firmware. I tried all sorts of programs...DW, Disk Utility, etc and couldn't get the hd to mount. Contacted Lacie, but they couldn't help me

I gave up and tried to format it using Disk Utility, but it gives me an error like "bad file descriptor"

Please help!
 
Did you repartition it first? Use Disk Utitlity and remove all old partitions and then put Mac partition. Then put filesystem to the partition.
 
^That won't help much if it doesn't mount^

Oh, and just a thought, try leaving the Lacie plugged in and running overnight. Maybe it'll correct itself if it's just bad sectors.
