I have a Mac Mini G4 running OS 10.4.11. Up until recently, all was well. My Iomega external Firewire drive was humming along and I started having issues with the G4 (crashes, running slow, etc.). I backed up to the external drive, disconnected peripherals, and ran DiskWarrior on the G4. Problems were solved but a new one developed. I cannot get it to recognize the external drive. The drive seems to be working fine (I have connected it to another Mac and it checks out OK). On my G4, it won't mount, I can't see it using the Disk Utility and DiskWarrior can't see it either.
I've done just about everything related to this issue that has been suggested in these forums. I made sure hard disk preferences are checked to show external drives, I've tried to restart to set the start up disk and it's not there, I downloaded driver software from Iomega, I disconnected peripherals, and I switched cables and configurations and start up routines. Nothing has worked. No error messages. Drive works fine on another Mac with the same OS.
I suspect DiskWarrior reset some software related to the Firewire port? Any help would be appreciated.
