Will not recognize external HD

PowerBook G4 Aluminum 12" 1.33 GHz

System 10.3

320 GB HD

1.256 GM Memory

Recently upgraded the optical drive to a DL superdrive (profiler says Disc Burning-Not supported, what's up with that????)

Plugged an external 1 TB drive via USB (external HD worked on the MacBook, System 10.5, minutes prior).

The PB won't recognize it (no Icon on desktop nor shows up when I open the internal HD window).

However it does show up when I run Disk Utility but still won't mount. Also Disk Utility won't allow me to repair it. It was configured on system 10.5.

Any clues?

The 10.3 disk utility may not recognize the GUID format of the external HD. Can you upgrade to System 10.4? You may have the same problem with the 10.3 not seeing the newer internal optical drive. Try hooking it up in target mode via a firewire cable to another mac. Boot holding the "T" key down to both upgrade to 10.4, run the disk utility and also see if the optical drive is seen by the 10.5 system. This machine will run on 10.5 if you have enough RAM all may be a bit slow.
