I would Take It One Drive at a Time. Sometimes onboard FW needs to be reset, but, IIRC, this would be indicated if nothing was being mounted. From a similar thread in Apple Discussions (http:// discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8649537�) "Tried the Firewire self resetting fuse reset? (unhook all accessories, shut down, take out battery and unplug AC power to wall/ power strip), let sit for maybe 15 minutes, then reassemble)" I would try this in conjunction with an app that rebuilds the directories, but not destroying file data ... I'm guessing OnyX for Panther is one. Have you tried using the drives on another Mac if one is available? Has the "128GB limit" somehow come into play on the 750GB drive (probably not since its an external Lacie)?
