Dear friend,

   Try the following...

First solution
----------------

Give fdisk -l find your Disk as SATA like sdxx something
Type dmraid -E -r /dev/sdxx
(Replacing xx with your actual device found in step 3)
Confirm that yes, you wish to remove the dmraid information.!
After that it will appear ok.

Second Solution
--------------------
Try installing wine --> apt-get install wine
Then try to access the drive from wine..!!

Good Luck.!

Can you help with this problem?
