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)?
