I purchased a hard drive enclosure which allows you to plug in a

port and have it act like a regular hard drive. Under SuSE Linux 9.0 it
used to inform me that such a hard drive was plugged in. Under SuSE
Linux 10.0 I get no such notification. Is there some setting to turn on
notifications? Also, How do I go about formatting such a drive?

Thanks!

$ dmesg | grep SCSI

What does that return?

What does MyComputer tell you about the drive? Is it there?

In performing the "dmesg | grep SCSI" command, nothing is returned. If I click on the "MyComputer" icon, the device is not there. Note I am using a USB mouse and that works fine.
