> Does the device (plus cable) work correctly when connected to another USB > host? I have another laptop with windows. Since it's reiserfs I won't be able to check anything. This hd worked before the usb ports fried. I tried the pcmcia+cable and it doesn't help in the case with this hd. I tried both ports of the pcmcia and this hd, and it's the same. Other devices work on both ports.

Either the hd was damaged, or it's a usb configuration issue. I updated the kernel and maybe something related to ohci isn't correct. I will try to intsall the other laptop with dual boot and check if the hd works there. If not, I will try the usb guys.
