This is a vfat disk which I can read under Windows, so I tried to mount it with "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd". I tried all other letters and numbers (sdb, sdb1, ...). Always not a valid block device. I tried the fdisk on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb and it says " Unable to open /dev/sda " or /dev/sdb ... Any ideas ?
I alse include here the part of /var/log/messages corresponding to this (I have plugged and unplugged the disk few times): Jul 22 10:31:44 marlhcb6 su(pam_unix)[1784]: session opened for user root by atsareg(uid=311) Jul 22 10:32:06 marlhcb6 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs Jul 22 10:32:06 marlhcb6 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver hub Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:07.2 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:03.0 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:03.1 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xdce0, IRQ 11 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 Jul 22 10:32:07 marlhcb6 kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4ce/0x2) is not claimed by any active driver.
