Re: USB hard drive



<snip>
Can you list what happens when you plug the hard drive in whilst Linux
is booted?

Can you try the hard drive in another system (a Windows one would help
with debugging)?

The USB hard drive is FAT32, could that be an issue?

Small world, I had the same issue today (not a FC system, but a Linux
system so quite likely similar reasons). When I had a Maxtor 40 gig
in the USB 2.0 enclosure my laptop with a bootable Linux CD could see
that drive. But when I put in a Western Digital 40 gig drive it
couldn't see that drive properly (some errors in dmesg waiting for
drive to be ready, and some other such message). I know the drive is
valid because I had viewed it under a Windows system (doing a forensic
acquisition) and was using a Linux box to re-hash the drive for
validation. I wonder if the problem might be with certain brand
drives working properly with Linux while in a USB enclosure?
