Two things-

1) Could some please post some information on removable hard drives?  Pros,
cons, etc... I can't decide to get a CD-ROM or a removable HD for my BBS. 
Also, which are the best of each?

2) Having a problem...  my Mac doesn't recognize my internal HD.  It could
either be dust blocking some kind of connection, or a nasty crash.  Any insight
on this?  The Mac just does not want to recognize that the HD exists.  I tried
Norton Utilities, and even that doesn't want to believe it exists.  (When I
boot up it shows the disk icon w/question mark, and if I boot up with another
startup disk, the HD doesn't appear on the desktop.) 
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
