Backup?

I had 10.4 running on my usb hard disk great for 2 months. It crashed. It is possible to boot from usb on intel trust me.

Anyhow, I just installed leopard on my internal hd erase and install. Works great now.

I connected the usb drive and it doesn't show. It only shows in disk utility from leopard or from cd but it never mounts. It can't be repaired either.

Does anybody know what the error means and what I can do?
