Some drives that do not have independent power (powered off the USB) have this issue. Using USB to power a disk or similar high power consumption device is iffy at best. Plug in all cables if the drive enclosure has multiple cables, try another usb port (if you have multiple sets of ports on your box). If neither works, get an enclosure with external power :) Regards, -- Raju _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
