I just got an external Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA Drive in an External AMS Venus Enclosure, formatted it (1 400GB partition that actually ended up being 399.9GB) to Mac Extended Journaled and the remaining disk space to FAT32. In the first window, I selected 'install drivers for Mac OS9"
I then started to copy files from another external which still mounts properly, but cancelled the transfer because I realized my drives were not plugged into a working surge protector. I ejected both drives, turned the computer off, changed power outlets, turned computer back on, turned drives back on but only the drive I was copying files from is recognized now. The new one does not show up anywhere. I tried turning it on and off a few times and even tried changing USB ports. The front light on the enclosure is green, indicating it is getting power. Any idea what the problem may be?
