I have an imac DV 450mhz and am having problems at start-up and recognizing my firewire.
I have a GVP 80gb firewire drive and an EZ Boa cd burner which have both been working fine until earlier this week. Now I can't access either of them and the computer will only restart when I unplug all the external devices...including the keyboard. (it gets to the start up screen begins to start up and then freezes). I managed to get the firewire drive to mount a couple of times but it usually freezes the computer. I updated my firmware to 4.1.9 and after start up I can plug all my USB devices back in and they work...but the Firewire peripherals won't show up...what can I do?
I have important work on my firewire drive..most of which is backed up...but it is so frustrating not being able to use it.
I have tried to start-up with extensions off..still freezes if peripherals are plugged in.
I have zapped the pram and rebuilt the desk top still the same problem.
All disc utlilities I use say that everything is fine.
Any help would be very much appreciated
