I'm not surprised Windows won't see it if it's HFS+. Linux won't be able to read the HFS+ partition natively either. However there is ahttp://www.linux1394.org/scripts/rescan-scsi-bus.shn hfs+[1] driver for linux that I've used and it works well. Linux will recognize the disk over USB or firewire. tail -f /var/log/messages as you plug it in. For USB, it's just the usb-storage module you need to load. For firewire, sbp2. Note that until distros support the newer method of doing hotplug for these devices, you may have to run the script rescan-scsi-bus.sh[2] (more information at the www.linux1394.org[3] site) before Linux will actually see the partitions themselves.
