PCS060G - P2 Store Drive not Connecting

I have trudged through most of the threads and have not found this issue.

I have a P2 Store whose hard drive will not connect to a computer (neither mac or pc). We have made sure the P2 Store was in the appropriate mode. It will still read P2 Cards and will download cards to the HD.

On Mac, Disc Utility does not recognize it; however, P2 Store Manager reads the SMART data, Setup Data, and firmware version (via the Upgrade window). In the bottom left corner of the P2 Store Manager window the "State" of the drive is listed as "Connecting"

It seems as if the Hard drive may be dead. Has anyone else had this issue. We are still using the 8G cards with the HVX200's, so the P2 Store is the field storage which we supply our students.

Any info would be appreciated.

P2 Store Drive Update

P2 Store Drive Update

By removing the hard drive I was able to download the media. Reattached drive, same issue as before "Connecting". Reinstalled firmware and tried again: no good. P2 Store Manager still accesses the P2 Store (will see the number of partitions and also will format it) but will not see the contents of said partitions. Anyone have any Ideas?
