    well you have two problems here.

    1. your mac is not seeing the HD. Sounds like an issue with the Firewire enclosure.
    make sure you have it hooked up correctly (most cases require a poweradapter, make sure the jumbers are all setup properly, read the manual STEP by STEP)

    2. if you want to use the HD between Mac OS X and Windows 98 you will need to format the HD with FAT32

    MAC OS X Can read and write FAT16,FAT32 and NTFS plus HFS+ of course

    but windows can only read and write to Disk in a windows Format. There is no native support for HFS+ .So unless you intend to use a special program on you Windows 98 box that allows for reading mac formated disks you best bet is FAT32
