If the drive is making funny noises (scratching, clicking) or not spinning up at all it's probably done with...

More constructive:
- is the drive spinning up on power on? (else: check power, SCSI cabling, termination, un-/replug cabling)
- is the drive recognized by HDToolbox or the GVP installation software?
- RDB might be corrupted

Sounds like FFS. As it seems, the readme also states "Since V0.6 it also finds FFS partitions. As FFS needs the partition size for calculating the rootblock position, first all possible FFS bootblocks are stored in a table and in a second pass the rootblock positions are calculated and checked."

Worth a try.
