problem with external firewire drive

[Paul Korntheuer]

Can you try this external drive on another system? Have you tried using 
a different firewire cable? If it does not show up on the desktop of 
another system, then you know its the drive that has failed, if it does 
show up, then rebuild the desktop your computer.
