Check the settings/jumpers on the back (master, slave, auto-sensing) of
the drive. I put a new HD in my B&W awhile back, had the same problem
you are having now, I believe i had to set the jumpers from
auto-sensing to master, reinstalled worked fine.

So I have this 80 Gb drive I picked up the other week and tried to
replace the stock 12 Gb in my B&W: it doesn't see it. It doesn't
appear in Disk Utility or the more detailed view in "About this Mac."
It's a pretty new drive -- a Maxtor Diamond Plus 80 Gb, runs at 133.
Anything else I can try? I could always get a firewire enclosure for
it as my fallback, but I was hoping this would work in the box.
Another option may be an ATA card, but as discussed all week, throwing
money at this old hardware requires careful consideration ;-)
