Details please - OS etc.
Do you have StuffIt AVR installed?  If so, rip it out - it's known to
interfere with Finder.
Have you installed any other Finder type enhancements?

The Pismo is a G3 running OSX 10.4.11, 500 mhz, 768 ram, 120 gb hard drive.
I do have Stuffit Expander 12.0.1 installed but don't know what Stuffit AVR
is or where it might be located.
I don't know what Finder type enhancements means but don't install any trial
versions of anything and only use the regular programs.

I am double clicking on the traditional icon for a hard drive- it just
doesn't seem to recognise the click.

I only have the two icons for the partitioned hard drive on the Desktop- the
hard drive icon for the OSX partition and the hard drive icon for the OS9
partition.
