I've had last week the "familiar" drive disapearance. that is: the drive don't mount, I don't even hear it turn up, and it's nowhere in OSX and OS 9 (even in maintenance software). I tried all the tricks: - let things quiet down a few hours. - move from one enclosure to another. - reset the motherboard (did some cleaning too, it was needed…) Result nothing. Then… For the Nth time I was checking the other drives with the disk utility and they mounted… No loss this time, but some white hair in my starting baldiness.  I've noted a few strange things before and right after. Just before, I was in Disk Utility and the drive was showing the repair permissions buttons available which was not normal. And after the reappearance the name of the drive on the desktop was twinkling if selected (white rectangle on top of the name but the name was selected but not modifiable). Uh?
