Hi jt2769,

Hmm........If you have another firewire connector, try plugging the hard drive to that spare slot, probabl you have tried this already.

It could be a bad external enclosure connector as this happen on some of my client's external hard drives before.

If you are confident in opening up the enclosure, you can do what the last post said. Open up the enclosure, take the hard drive out, and then plug it directly to the computer. Possible you will need an IDE or SATA adapter so you can plug the hdd directly to the computer.
