What sort of external casing did you get. I tried 2 diff ones. I can't remember the 1st one's name but it didn't work, the 2nd one, called "CUTIE" worked out of the box when the 1st one didn't I'm happy to mention also that the "CUTIE" one had the tux logo on the box. But back to your prob. Is it only when you plug _this_ in that it's not recognised? Can you plug in some other usb device? Something like a USB Handy Drive or something? Does that work? what does usbview say? --
