I just bought a Maxtor 200GB drive ($99) and put it into a new MacAlly 100AF Firewire case. However, I can't get it to mount on the desktop of my G4 iMac nor does it show up in Disk Utility. Have I wasted my money? I thought that I could partition it into two 100GB partitions and use one as a back-up for my G4 iMac and the other for my G4 Powerbook.

What should I do first?

Dennis:
Is the hard drive serial ATA or ultra ATA? My understanding is that serial ATA might not work with some computers.
