I booted up my Mac like always except this time when it came up there was a message
It said something about not reading a volume and asked me to:
Initialize
Eject
Ignore
Because I didnt know what was going on and didnt want to hit Initialize and watch my files get erased, I hit ignore. Immediately noticing my Media Drive(not my boot drive) was missing I opened up Disk Utility.
The drive was fine sitting there and able to be seen, however the Volume(only partition on said drive) was greyed out and Unmounted. I first verified and repaired permissions on the actual drive, a few minor things were repaired. Then I verified the Volume to find nothing wrong with it. When i go to File and choose Mount, nothing happens.
My computer is running just fine as this is just my storage drive(my LIFE which hasnt been backed up in about a month, im a writer..........)
Many restarts and unplugging and reconnecting my drive later.... I cant seem to fix it. The drive seems fine. Id like it back. Here are my specifics:
Power Mac G4
Dual 533 MHz processors
1GB Memory with 133 Bus Speed.
Im running Mac OS X 10.4.11
Kernel Verision: Darwin 8.11.0
Boot Drive:
IBM-DTLA-307045 with 38.17 GB capacity
ATA protocol
OS9 Drivers installed
SMART status Verified
Journaled HFS+
TROUBLE DRIVE(unmounted):
232.9 GB capacity
ATA protocol
Disk Identifier: disk1
Connection ID: Device 1
Partition Type: Apple_partition_scheme
Writable: Yes
OS9 Drivers installed: Yes
SMART status: Verified
Disk Number: 1 (the Volume's disk number is also 1)
Partition Number: 0 (the Volume's Partition Number is 10)

It CAN be formatted.
Any help getting it mounted again would be fantastic. In Terminal I tried using diskutil Mount G4_Media(the name of the Volume) but dont know the proper command, it didnt work.
