Help!
I have an 3TB (Seagate) installed in an external enclosure (SATA) connected to my 2009 iMac via USB 3.0. The enclosure has a separate power supply which is plugged in.
No matter what I've tried, the drive won't mount, doesn't appear in Disk Utility, and doesn't appear as a USB-connected device in System Profilier
The drive, enclosure, and USB port all work -- I know this because I can connect, read/write, and see the drive in Windows 7 via virtualization.
I'm running MacFUSE and NTFS-3g, so it's not an issue with connecting an NTFS drive. To be certain, I reformatted (in windows) as both FAT32 and ExFAT. Neither worked to make the drive appear in OS X. Using a Windows tool (trial), I've even formatted as HFS+, but the drive still doesn't show on OS X.
Other things I've tried:
So far, nothing works, but the device continues to connect to Win7 just fine.
Any thoughts

Other things I've tried:
- updading from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5
- resetting SMC
- powering on the computer, the drive, and plugging in the connection in different order combinations
- connecting to different USB ports
- using Recovery System to access Disk Utility at a higher lever
So far, nothing works, but the device continues to connect to Win7 just fine.
Any thoughts
