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,
