what happens when you start up? do you get a question mark computer icon? a bomb?
The only advice i can offer is to go to the apple.com site and dig around for an answer in the troubleshooting section. Good luck.

you might want to try scsi probe. I can email you a copy I'm on 9.2.2... hang on.

same thing happened to me and I found it that the spindel of the HD was broken. You sound as if you lost it dude. I had the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago, search here and you will see. :(

your probably going to have to have the data transferred from one HD to another if that's the case. It can be expensive if they cannot do it for you to have the thing taken apart. They told me about 1K, sucks!

I've had that exact problem man. hmmm... there are utilities that can get it back. I feel for you. sorry that scsi probe didn't work.

well I know that CompUsa if you are in USA does it for cheap./ If they can salvage your HD as a 'slave' drive. KNow what I mean dude?

have you tired disc warrior yet? i lost my harddrive a year ago, and they were gonna charge me $500 to [maybe] get it back. so instead i found a copy of dw just to try as a last resort and it fixed me right up.
