Can't get my Linux desktop (kubuntu feisty fawn 7.04) to connect to an external USB drive. Tried everything. Drive is a Tsaihong 2508 USB2 storage device (40Gb) and works perfectly in Windows XP. Willing to convert to FAT 32 filesystem (it's now NTFS) but XP won't let me convert NTFS and Linux can't read the device so Linux converters won't work. Trolled through all the forums and tried everything, nothing works.
Here's the dmesg I get when I try to connect it. Any ideas?
