I have an iomega hdd2 1 tb hd which has a lot of graphic files on it and it stopped working one day. Trued removing it and rebooting then hooking it up again.  Nothing. It is connected with a Firewire 800.

- I've checked every port.  USB, Firewire etc... None of them work. I'm in a real pickle here. **** Utility doesn't show it exists.

- Thank you. I will give a new shell a shot.
This is very bizzare!

The firewire chip may have bit the dust. Open finder, and go to applications, then utilities. Open Disk Utility and see if you can see the drive there. If you can, verify and repair the drive using disk utility and see if the problem goes away.

- You may just need to pull the drive out of the enclosure and drop it in a new one.
