fdisk -l /dev/sd* shows nothing at all, just returns directly to the prompt.
Sorry, should be fdisk -l /dev/sdb to sdb4 in turn, but thinking about
it, the sdbN don't make sense so just the /dev/sdb.
Yes, I tried each device in turn: /dev/sda, /sda1, /sda2, ... /sdb, /sdb1, ... etc.
I haven't run mkfs on anything yet, since there appears to be nothing to run it against.
Your conclusion, and wrong :)
Most likely :D
It would also help if you gave more useful info than just "doesn't work" or "doesn't mount". What's logged in /var/log/messages about it? lsusb?
I posted the output from /var/log/messages in my initial post. Here's the output from lsusb (with the drive plugged in):
