I recently had a similar problem with my iBook on OS 10.4
Many things I tried would work for a short time, but the ultimate solution ended up being to boot the iBook into FireWire Disk Mode (Holding gown ‘T’ at the startup chime, if I remember correctly), attaching it to another mac with a firewire cable, disabling permissions on the mounted HD (Get Info > Ignore Permissions on this Volume) and copying my files out before formatting and reinstalling.
Hopefully you won’t have to resort to such a drastic move, but it ended up being the only thing that fixed mine.

Don’t be so upset! It’s good practical experience. You can take something away from it :-p

Ouch,
It isn’t very likely that FCP keps the clip if the capture was aborted.
As was said before, check your capture scratch.
Also, another word of advice, don’t recycle tapes. Especially if you are shooting MiniDV. That’s just asking for dropped frames, unfortunetely.

Just thought I would add..
Mac OS X will read and write to FAT 16 and FAT 32, and can only read from, but not write to NTFS volumes. It would be best to format it on the Windows PC, doing a full (not quick) format.
