However, the Pismo will now not recognise its hard drive but will start from the Tiger DVD Installer disk. Even Disk Utility on the installer disk does not show the Pismo hard drive. I restarted using the Option. Command, P and R keys and waited for 4 starts. Still no hard drive showing. Is there another procedure to rectify this and have the drive appear?
Sounds like either your hard disk or the circuitry supporting it is dead.
Since you can boot from the DVD drive, try booting a Mac OS 9 installer CD, if you have it. I have had a couple of hard drives that wouldn't show up in any Mac OS X program that I tried, but gave a message upon booting into OS 9 that gave me the option to erase/ format the drive. Although you may not want to erase the drive at this point, at least it might tell you whether the drive support circuitry is working...
