external firewire drive not recognized

[placebo]

Hi, I have a Fantom external firewire drive, and suddenly my iBook is not seeing it at all. It powers up and everything but I can't see it on the desktop at all. I've tried just about everything. It sucks cause I've got tons of music on this thing. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Have you tired rebooting/changing port.

Is it listed in terminal, to check open terminal (found in utilities) and type in

diskutil list

and press enter.
