I have a external usb 2.0 30G ide drive. one large partition formated with reiserfs using mdk 8.0. I plugged it in to the Water Cooled Terminal Server's usb 2.0 ports and launched disdrake to set my mount point. I got an error from diskdrake warning the partition table was unreadable on the usb drive and that I would have to reformat it. This I cannot do, it contains important backup data. Why would diskdrake not recognize a ide drive in a external usb 2.0 enclosure?
