Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu External Hard drive won't mount Post 302203713 by Texasone on Monday 9th of June 2008 03:45:31 PM

You're right on cue with the fact that I don't want to format the drive.(Methal) It takes too long to do so, as in copy all the files that I want over to a partition on my desktop and then format and then copy back.
Now in response to Era, I just reinstalled Ubuntu Gusty and updated the system, but still no luck. back when I used Ubuntu Hardy on the system (no Gusty), it got recognized for some reason. I switched due to the fact that my laptop wouldn't use drivers in Hardy for compiz, but Gusty did. And I just wanted the systems to be the same. Now the question becomes, would it be worth trying a version upgrade on my desktop to see if that works or should I just do the reformatting on a weekend when I'm not doing anything, or is there an easy fix to this. And no, I do not see anything promising using lsusb.
In /var/log/syslog, I get info, just nothing hopeful.

#include <sys/usb/usba.h> INTERFACE LEVEL

Please refer to section 9.6.2 of the USB 2.0 specification. The USB 2.0 specification is available at www.usb.org. A device descriptor contains the following fields: uint8_t bLength Size of this descriptor. uint8_t bDescriptorType Set to USB_DESCR_TYPE_DEV_QLF. uint16_t bcdUSB USB specification release number in binary coded decimal. uint8_t bDeviceClass Device class code. (See usb_dev_descr(9s).) uint8_t bDeviceSubClass Device subclass code.(See USB 2.0 specification of applicable device class for information.) uint8_t bDeviceProtocol Protocol code.(See USB 2.0 specification of applicable device class for information.) uint8_t bMaxPacketSize0 Maximum packet size of endpoint 0. uint8_t bNumConfigurations Number of available configurations. uint8_t bReserved Reserved.
