Yes, John, the drive was a fairly new one and OWC may well replace it
if I can find the receipt and warranty among my mounds of paperwork.
But replacing the drive is a minor issue to me compared to retrieving
the data on the dead one. I don't blame OWC for the current state of
computer technology;

Your receipt should be available online as part of your ordering

With that established, what to do now, if anything? Bash the drive
with a hammer, freeze it in the freezer--anything at all--to somehow
make it show on the desktop, at least long enough to get the data off
it?

Thanks for the freezer suggestion, Al. I've heard of that treatment,
too. Freezing things shrinks them and frees up stuck parts
temporarily.
It also causes broken electronics to not overheat as fast.
My drive isn't stuck, though; it spins up freely,

What CAN be done is sending it off to a drive recovery place like DriveSavers.
It's quite pricey, though: last time I checked, Drive Savers starts at $750

recovery, and goes on up to about $2500 for normal

I wonder, does the $2500 cover the cost of one of their techs
disassembling the drive in a clean room and trying to tease bits off
the bare platters? (Do they even still use that approach or has the
retrieval technology moved on to other approaches?)
The new OWC external HD enclosure arrived today, and I took the drive
that had vanished from the desktop out of its old enclosure and put it
into the new one, but it didn't do any good. The drive still doesn't
show up on the desktop from inside its new enclosure, even though it
spins up and goes
(Update): In wandering around the Internet reading about resurrecting
dead drives, I ran across this website: http://tinyurl.com/69ujzy
where you can listen to the clicking sounds made by busted drives as
they start up, and unfortunately mine sounds like one of them. It
starts and spins up fine,

I forget how this all began but I believe you said the bad drive was

Thanks James. I hope you're right about the drive being still alive
and OK inside of a dead enclosure. I can start the drive up and hear
the disk spinning up and running inside, gently vibrating like normal,
so I hope that when the new enclosure comes, the thing will be able to
send out the data
Check the gas tank first.
Two basic items not mentioned.
Check your finder preferences. Under Show Items on Desktop, is Hard
Drives Checked?
Also, does Disk utility see the hard drive?

Thanks Clark Kris. You guys are very kind to take the time to help
me out like this, and I appreciate it.
Well, this external hard drive has three interfaces: FW400, FW800, and
USB, and I've tried connecting the drive to the Mac with each one of
these cables, and in all three cases nothing
