I just bought a USB device adn when I plug it in I can't see it.
Can anyone tell me how to mount it? I expected it to register like my
memory stick.
I tried the Syste mTools > Disk Manager and Hardware Browser.
Thanks,
Jim
Now I will jump in late.
Has this drive ever worked on Linux?
No, it's a new Iomega USB external drive, I returned the Acdcudata because
of the same problem.
What does tail show for /var/log/messages when you plug the drive into the
USB port.
No entries whren I reboot, then plug it in.
# tail -f /var/log/messages
It's doesn't seem to be initializing, my USB memory stick is fine. I can't
get the HD to work.
service --status-all |grep hald
hald is running
Thanks,
Jim
You should see something like.

Now the next question is your HAL daemon running?
service --status-all |grep hald
---
I ask this as my hald is stopped and I cannot automount my USB HD or stick.
