Hard Drives Undetected on My Machine - But Mounts on All Other Machines
Dear All, Hope you are doing great. I ran into a very strange issue. I have a Dell T7500 machine that runs ubuntu 12. I have 8 different drives from different manufacturers of varying sizes with data on them. These 8 drives were hooked to this Dell machine using external docking stations. Now, we brought a Startech 8-bay enclosure. When I insert all these drives into the enclosure and plug it to the Dell machine, only the drive in the first slot works. If I put drive8 from slot8 into slot1, it mounts fine. But when I put it back to slot8 and drive1 in slot1, it doesn't popup. In this way, the 7 other slot drives show up as unknown volumes in disk utility. fdisk gives input/output error. parted gives unrecognized label error. But, when I plug this enclosure to a Ubuntu machine running 12 in another office, all 8 drives fire up and they all mount absolutely beautiful. I used/formatted/partitioned all these 8 drives using Ubuntu 10 on my machine. And then the enclosure was connected after an upgrade to 12. Please share any pointers. P.S.: No formatting is supposed to be done. Because, all drives have info on them.
