Freaking firewire external HDD

So my firewire external hard drive decided it was done working in Arch today. It still functions under an install of Windows 7 so I believe the hard drive to be in working order. Here is what I am completely updated with everything and I am running KDE. Here is what the DE throws back to me when I try to access the drive:

org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: Error opening '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address Either the device is missing or it's powered down, or you have SoftRAID hardware and must use an activated, different device under /dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1) to mount NTFS. Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.

The drive has functioned in the past and I am unsure of when it kicked out on me. Here is some feedback from the errors.log:
