External HD not mounting...

iPenguin

Hey, Look!
Hi everyone,

So... I've got a Lacie 160GB D2 external hard drive, that up until recently worked without a hitch. Suddenly though, it stopped mounting. I was reinstalling Quicktime 7 after I had reverted to Quicktime 6.5 in attempt to get my Quicktime 7 sound working (which incidentally it still isn't). I know that the external drive was working up until I did the reinstall of Quicktime 7, after that though it just refuses to be recognized.

I did a quick search on these forums for people who had had similar problems but the solutions that were posted (repair disk permissions, update firmware (the firmware updater doesn't even recognize that there's a drive there...), etc.) didn't work...

I thought that maybe the problem was with the Firewire 800 cord that I was using, but I had the same problem when I tried connecting the drive with Firewire 400 and USB as well.

Help! :(

Thanks,

(Oh, and I'm using 10.3.9)
