I bought a Cables-to-go USB to IDE/SATA Adapter (Model # 30504) to read some old drives sitting around. I hook it up and it seems to connect and tell the host that it's there. But it doesn't mount automatically, and I can't mount it manually. In fact, I can't seem to read it at all. When I connect, I get the following from dmesg: usb 2-4.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13 usb 2-4.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 13 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb 2-4.4: New USB device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=2338 usb 2-4.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5 usb 2-4.4: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge usb 2-4.4: Manufacturer: JMicron usb 2-4.4: SerialNumber: 152D203380B6 usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Attached SCSI disk sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg8 type 0 Same stuff is in /var/log/messages I have a /dev/sdh, but no partition devices (No /dev/sdh{1,2,3,etc}). When I try to read the raw device with dd, I get 0 blocks: # dd if=/dev/sdh of=/dev/null 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 3.1811e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s Does anyone know how to use this thing? I've tried with several different drives, one out of my system that I know is working right. Both IDE and SATA. I've googled around a bit for help, but nothing seems to be this problem. I'm just missing something basic, aren't I?
