We really need more info to be able to help you. What's in the kernel log when you plug the drive in and switch it on? (type `dmesg' at a shell prompt, look for USB messages). What kind of USB controller is it (Is the appropriate driver module loaded?) Are you running a 64-bit or 32-bit kernel? Is this on an AMD/ATI chipset or an Intel one (the ATI chipsets with some kernel versions refuse to put the USB controllers into high speed mode)? -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
