I have had a lot of trouble with my iomega 320Gb drive; when it's plugged in
too long over FireWire, it makes 10.6.2 crash on my Intel iMac. I think these
are just not very good quality drives, and it seems that I had more trouble
since upgrading to Snow Leopard.
It sure sounds like the drive is just busted - I would contact iomega and see
if they'll replace it. (Or refund it so you can get a better drive)

Greetings!
Intel iMac -- X 10.6.2 -- HP printers, etc.
I have several external HDs (all are USB connected) including an IOMEGA 320
GB.
The 320GB power unit died (loose plug-in prongs) and IOMEGA sent me a new
power unit. When I re-connect the HD, it is not recognized on the desktop.
'Disk Utility' can't find it; neither can 'Disk Warrior', TechTool Pro',
'Drive Genius' or anything else I can think of. Restart doesn't help.
The disk drive is warm and rotating, the blue lamp is on, and the
connections are OK (I switched several HDs around to different USB slots.)
What should I do next? Is there a terminal script that will scan for HDs?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks and cheers!

Many thanks for all the suggestions!
I disconnected the 320GB HD, re-booted, changed USB cables, changed USB
ports, zapped PRAM, tried Disk Utility, Drive Genius, and TechTool Pro. None
of them recognized the HD.
I'm out of ideas. I'm afraid I have a bad HD -- all of which happened when
the power unit broke. IOmega replaced the power unit, but still the HD is
not recognized.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
earle
