Cannot use USB diskette drive

I would be extremely grateful for any help on the following matter.

Under AIX 5.1 and for years I have been using perfectly well a USB 3.5" disketted drive. But since yesterday, after a power failure disconnected my e-server, I have been unable to use the drive. Whatever <operation> I try to execute, let it be "dosread", "dosdir" or "restore" from a backup diskette, I always get:

<operation> 054-158 Cannot open /dev/rfd0: there is a request to a device or address that does not exist.

When I enter:

Code:

lsdev -C

lsdev -C

-->The answer is:

Code:

fd0 is defined

fd0 is defined -->When I enter:

Code:

lscfg -v

lscfg -v -->The answer is:

Code:

fd0 is not listed

fd0 is not listed -->When I enter:

Code:

mkdev -l fdo

mkdev -l fdo -->The answer is:

Code:

Method error. 0514-031 A device is already configured ....

Method error. 0514-031 A device is already configured .... -->
