USB disk doesn't appear in file browser
Asked by
Steve Franks
I've attached an external hard disk to my Ubuntu laptop, but it isn't visible in File Browser, or System Monitor.
It is probably not formatted as a Linux disk, as it came from a dead PVR. I don't think that the drive itself is damaged.
Ubuntu does try to access it, but seems to give up. Windoz does slightly better, it says that it's a Maxstor. hard disk.
Is there any other program that I can use to examine the drive?
If possible I'd like to see whether there is any data on it, but failing that I'd like to have the 80gb as extra storage.
