argh....
from an online discussion group that saved a drive for me:
Open up your Terminal app (which is in /Applications/Utilities) and let us see the results of the following commands copy/pasted into the Terminal, hitting Return after each command:
ls -al /Volumes
id
echo "done"

Anyway, now I cannot see the icon on the desktop on either computer. It appears in Disk Utility, and when I verified the disk it says 'Volume passed verification'.
You should "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility, not just "Verify". What happens after you Repair Disk?
If Disk Utility is not able to fix the problem, then I would recommend a more heavy-duty disk repair application, DiskWarrior.
If you've given up on ever using the disk anymore and just want to retrieve whatever information off of it that you can, then I'd recommend Data Rescue II. But DiskWarrior is very powerful and would certainly be what I would use in your place.
