External Hardrive Not Mounting

Hi All,

I purchased a Seagate External Hardrive for my G4 Powerbook last fall. Up until recently, everything was working properly. Now, when I plug in the external hardrive via firewire, I get a box that says, "the disk you insterted was not readable by this computer."

The last thing I used the external hardrive for was to transfer imovie files from my laptop to the hardrive. It was transfering data slower than usual, and I had problems ejecting the hardrive. After multiple attempts and a lot of yelling, I was forced to turn the hardrive off and unplug it without properly ejecting it.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue without erasing and reformatting?

Thanks in advance,
ATN
 
Does /Applications/Utilties/Disk Utility see it? You can try to Repair possible hard drive damage in the enclosure. Also disconnect the hard drive then reset your Pram. See if that helps.
