Here is the deal. One of my SATA HDs in my PowerMac G4 DP 1.42 running 10.4.7 seems to have died! The HD is making a louder than usual buzzing noise and is no longer mounting on the Desktop. Disk utility does not see it as well. The only drives that show up in Disk Utility are my start up and another additional HD.

I got the following message that randomly came up when I was trying some things in single user mode. AppleK2SATA@1 phy dectected but not in ready state - AppleK2SATA@1 status: CL=ff, CH=ff, SC=ff, SN=ff, AltStat=ff.

Is there any hope?? I have freakin ton of music on there (60GB). No back up either. just my iPod that only holds 20GB!!

Please help!
Thanks
