Perhaps somebody is hitting the 137GB limit of an older ATA(-5?) specification. See: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk-3.html#ss3.5 > Case maker says that E-IDE <=> USB 2.0 converter chip support big HDs Yes, but how big? :-) Please confirm the HD case specification. A few other ideas to check. Your USB HDD should appear as a SCSI drive in Linux. After you plug the drive in, try doing a dmesg, which should display some kernel log messages. Near the end of the list, your USB HDD should be listed. How any sectors are reported for your USB HDD? To investigate in more detail, enable debugging in the USB storage driver; recompile and install the driver module; reboot or reload the USB storage driver module; plug in your USB HDD; examine the kernel log for READ CAPACITY commands. How many blocks were reported by your USB HDD? With USB Storage driver debugging enabled, try reading a block in the 138-160GB range (using dd?). What is the result? What READ10 command appears in the kernel log (does it contain the address of the block you want)?
