We bought a second hand 20 gig Fujitsu Hard drive, formatted it for

make a search for Mt.Everything - (mount everything)that is a control
panel that can start disks that are accidently put in off position.

Thank you. I found the program and am going to try it now. - Peg
It didn't work!! This is an iDE drive and I guess that only works on SCSI drives?
I don't think getting the drive mounted is your problem anyway.
What you need is a Hard Disk utility like FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit, or Tech Tool Pro, etc....
What shows up in the Apple Disk utility ? Does it show up at all in the
Drive set up ?
Can it be reformatted or initialized again ? If so, try it again using
the latest Apple OS you have available.
If the jumper is set correctly and it's not showing up in the Apple
Drive Setup there is most likely an issue with the drive, return it if
you can.

It doesn't even show up. I think it tries to start, but doesn't. I believe
we might have gotten a lemon!!
I've never liked Fujitsu drives and have had some bad luck with them myself so I think your right.
If there's nothing in the drive set up there is a chance you can get it working with a disk utility but from my experience it will most likely not work right.
