culprit: Western Digital Passport Essential 160 GB

I bought an usb disk. Passport Essential, 160 GB:

Manufacture: Western Digital
Vendor ID: 13FD
Product ID: 160E (External Drive)

When I try to mount it on my PC ( linux from scratch) it will not be recognised: I cannot mount it It does not appear in the list /dev/xxx:. On my laptop, with exactly the same LFS system, the external disks are smootly recognised by the OS.

The device came formated in fat32. I reformated it on the laptop with the help of "Gparted" ( recommended by WD ). I created two NTFS (ntfs-3g) partitions and another ext3 one. All of them worked smoothly under Linux on the laptop.

On the PC-box it did not work, no way. Both, PC and laptop have the same LFS system taken from one Image. In Windows-Virtutal Box under Linux as host it did also not work .

These are my  lsub and  proc results:
