firewire drive will not mount after accidental unplug
i've a firewire adaptor attached to an IDE drive. has been working very well.
the drive was accidently unplugged while mounted.
mac reported that firewire device was missing, to plug it back in immediately
which we did.
message went away.
then an error (-60) was displayed saying the disk had a problem and use a utility.
since then it will not mount, instead showing a "intialize" windoid.
can't get norton to see it as a "missing disk", and can't use Disk Warrior until it is mounted.
help?

Was the drive being written to when it got unplugged? Can you use Disk Utility?

thank you! i was able to get it mounted again with your advice, and then diskwarrior did it's wonderful work.
another method i found was to unplug the drive, launch diskwarrior, THEN plug in the drive. DW saw the drive (although not mounted) before the OS tried to put the initialize dialog up, so i could run DW.
thank you again!
