I recently loaded Leopard and then noticed that my iomega 500GB external drive is not recognised. Disk utility does not " see " it, and unplugging and restarting did not help. Can I get a software plug to fix this
 
I've had a quick look at Iomega's website, and there's nothing there that shouts 'Support'! In your situation I'd contact Iomega directly to ascertain compatibility of your external drive with Leopard.

One 'maybe' solution which has worked for some other, older, stubborn external drives is to power the drive on first and then plug the USB (firewire?) cable into the Mac.
 
Thanks. Tried that but no use. I had no problem before upgrading to Leopard, so...
I think the Apple folks have omitted the drivers for this drive in their upgrade..
Probably will have to fork out for another drive.

There are no "drivers" for particular drives -- only drivers for particular chipsets of USB drives, and drivers for particular chipsets of FireWire drives.

Is the drive FireWire or USB?
