I posted this to Apple's forums today: I just put a Travelstar 40 gnx in my 300 mhz 'book. Installed Jaguar.1 and OS 9.1 without incident. Put the replaced 20 gb Hitachi in an OWC Firewire Express enclosure. I have a Newer Firewire to go pc card that has always worked.
The FW drive only mounts in OS 9.1. It does not mount OS X.2.1. When I try to boot into X with the FW drive connected, X hangs while "waiting for local drives". If I unplug the drive, X finishes booting. If I try to connect the FW drive after X is booted, I get an error: "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize. To continue with the disk inserted, click Ignore." I've been ignoring it. I should mention that I can import DV into iMovie X without problem. So the Firewire card works in X. I've been able to read and write to the FW drive when booted into 9, so the FW drive definitely works. I installed the latest firmware from OWC too. Any ideas anyone? Should I wipe the drive and start over? (I posted a version of this issue here about a week ago.)
