I have a 2 layer problem. First off, I have snow leopard and I have a Maxtor external USB hard drive that wont mount. It doesnt show up in disk utility and it used to work in 10.5. Anyways, I did some research on this site and found a guy who mentioned restarting the computer with the drive plugged in and holding 'command' down and it would mount. Problem #2 arises in the fact that now when I start up it shows the Apple logo then it changes to a circle with an arrow thru it and it just keeps spinning with no results. I tried to restart the computer without the drive plugged in and it still does it. What is wrong??

any help would be great lol
