not reading external Hard Drive
it seems to me, like many others that ubuntu is have some trouble with USB 2.0 external hard drives. I have a seagate external HDD connected with a WD 500gb HDD in it. now 'Disk Utility' can see it, i guess ubuntu on the whole can see the external HDD but i cant access it, the external device is just personal data, not intended for boot or anything.
i am a new user, i have been looking around for answers for a few hours now, and don't seem to be having much luck. i tried to mount it manually but all i get is "unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'
NOTE: The current Hard Drive in the external enclosure was previously part of a Raid 0 array, and also has a couple of bad sectors but performs still ok.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
