I am on an Imac G5 (Isight) and my exernal HD won't mount. System Profiler recognizes the external 1394 hard drive and when I try Disk Utility, it recognizes it, too, but the verify and repair buttons are dimmed so that is no help. I only want the data off of it (mostly music) as I now have a newer, larger external HD. I have the latest versions of Tech Tool Pro and Disk Warrior but they don't recognize it either unless there is a procedure I don't know about and that's entirely possible given the fact that I just used them for the first time last week. I have tried turning the drive off and on repeatedly, disconnecting and reconnnecting it to the firewire port and even hitting it firmly several times but haven't tried the "putting it in the freezer for 4 hours" trick yet. Anyone have any suggestions other than spending almost a hundred dollars on Data Rescue or File Salvage?
