Probably shouldn't post this here, but you know how it is when you're desparate. It's X-related so I don't feel too bad.
Anyway, I"ve got this lingering bug with X where my dialup forces me to reboot. It's inconsistent as to why, but it happens a lot. When I go to connect , I'm shut out, though the mouse moves, but I can't click on anything.
So I did a force reboot with the little button on the front and came back to a missing hard drive, the slave drive off a Sonnet IDE card, not the main drive. This is the second time this has happened, but the first was resolved simply by re-initializing the drive since there wasn't anything on it. Sure enough, now there's 25 gig of stuff on it.
The catch is that the System Profiler knows it's there, but won't mount it. Any ideas as to how I can get it mounted? On boot the Mac says something about detecting an unreadable drive, eject, erase or continue. I've been "continuing".
I can't get Disk Warrior to see it cuz I can't mount it. Any thoughts? Help? Anyone?
Also, why can't Disk Utility perform a repair on it if it can see it? In Disk Utility in the left column the drive appears with the correct info, just not mounted or repairable/scannable. WTF?
Any help will result in a hearty handshake and pat on the back, virtually of course.
