Well... it sounds like you have a similar problem to the one that I had a      
while ago with my Rodime 20 meg external.  It worked fine for a while,
and then it just pooped out on me... it wouldn't work at all.  My Mac
wouldn't even recognise its existance (like what heppened to you).  
Unfortunately, I have bad news for you... I had to send my drive back
to Rodime to get a replacement.  It will be a little harder in your case,
as yours in internal... I'd suggest going back to your dealer and getting
another Mac (if possible).

BTW, I had surmised that it was an interface problem... there didn't seem to 
be anything wrong with the disk (when it was working right), but after about
a half hour of use, it stopped working.
