Symptoms: the drive does not mount on the desktop, and Drive Setup does not recognize it, even after rescanning busses. However, when I open up Apple System Profiler, it shows that there is a Seagate hard drive connected to SCSI, with SCSI id 0. It reports "No mounted media inserted" over on the branch that usually reports the volume names. When I open up the details on the hard drive, it says: Mac OS Partitions = 0, Size: 0 bytes, Capacity: 0 bytes(along with the other usual details).
Does this mean the drive is dead? It does make some pretty loud clicking sounds when the computer first powers up and the thing is about as loud as a Dremel tool on low speed once it gets running(is that normal?). I don't know what else to try at this point.
Peace, Todd
