If the drive were bad it would not be usable with USB and FW.
I would suspect either a bad cable or a bad/loose cable connection to
the either the drive or the eSATA port.
Are you using an internal SATA cable or eSATA? Did you reboot the
machine after attaching the drive?
-irrational john
I'm using an eSATA cable and I did reboot both machines.
i know that the seritek card is not hot swappable... try plugging
it in, your drive that is, and then restarting your mac? I'm
interested to know if that works myself.
Thanks for the tip so far I got the WD working on the PM G4 but the
PM G5 doesn't report it with the drive powered, The WD is kinda
wierd how it powers up, Well anyway I guess that eliminates the WD
from being a crapola piece so far:-)
