Does the drive show up in Disk Utility? I assume it is formatted for OSX. Have you tried to manually mount the drive.

o i forgot to mention, i have reinstalled mac osx tiger 10.4.1, i also bought disk warrior, no help, and i think data rescue couldent read the drive either

Fat32 is a windows format. It should still show up in Disk Utility. I bought the same drive, and immediately reformatted it OSX format. I am not sure what else could be going on. I will repool your question, sorry I could not help further.
