Public bug reported: Dear all
When I plug my external HDD drive to the computer (computer is on, with Ubuntu loaded), plugging the HDD USB cable does nothing (apparently) My external USB 2.0 HDD is only recognized: 1. At boot time, if the external HDD is ALREADY attached 2. Switching OFF/ON the HDD. When I switch off/on (I mean AC power) the HDD, Gnome instantly opens a folder and shows disk content In addition, if I select "Eject" in the contextual menu (right click) over the disk icon (in the desktop) the whole device turns off ... BUT then it turns on again in a while, so it's hard to dettach it safely (btw, the same drive works fine under windows) Unlike my external HDD drive, USB flash drives (memory) do work fine. My computer is a Toshiba U200-192 laptop running Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) The HDD is an external Iomega 320MB, formatted using FAT32 (Iomge product page: http://www.iomega.com/direct/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=40850263&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=41385863&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=63191&bmUID=1178199709364) I'm new to Linux (Ubuntu) so I don't know what kind of information should I provide to better report this (pls let me know) Thanks in advance ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: Dear all When I plug my external HDD drive to the computer (computer is on, with Ubuntu loaded), plugging the HDD USB cable does nothing (apparently) My external USB 2.0 HDD is only recognized: 1.
