[QUOTE="immdb, post: 34968, member: 1238"] It seems to me that there are times that certain operations can access the drive (ie., when you used the "fsck -y" command, and Disk Utility's Repair Disk option). I would try a third party formatting utility like Micromat Drive 10 or FWB Hard Disk Toolkit and see if it can see the drive to format it. I've seen Drive 10 recover so called "dead" drives when other utilities couldn't touch them. If you have the time and resources, your persistence may just pay off. [/QUOTE]
