I noticed your bug because I'm having a problem with a Firewire/ieee1394 drive, but I just switched to a new MyBook because I'm hoping it will be more reliable. So far so good....
Have you tried the USB port to see if it works? ALSO, I had a problem with my Western Digital MyBook Premium Edition because it turns out the FIREWIRE CABLE that comes in the box is defective, and using it apparently destroyed BOTH Firewire ports on the drive. Call the manufacturer immediately. If they confirm you're affected, get a replacement cable and DON'T use the one that came in the box anywhere. If you have another machine and a different Firewire cable you can confirm whether the ports work at all. In my case, the USB port continued working. However, since I had paid a premium for the Firewire model, I exchanged the drive at the store where I bought it, and have not had any trouble with the new one (though I DID NOT use the Firewire cable in the box!!!). Hope that helps. -- Firewire drive not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105317 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
