IDE to USB not working

[sourkraut]

I am running 7.1 Kubuntu

I have two Hard drives, the main one I leave in my desktop and the second one I use to download various things. It is my 60Gb usb stick. So I have a IDE to USB cable that I use.
I have downloaded music onto the second hard disk (which on the desktop shows up as "disk") and pulled it out of the box and brought it to another computer with 7.1 Kubuntu.
After connecting the electricity and the usb it was not recognized. I brought it home and tried to do the same thing on my desktop and it did not work either.

all partitions in question are ext2

sudo fdisk -l

could this be a UPnP prob?

Re: IDE to USB not working

I don't see any evidence that the USB device is even found by your Linux system.

"IDE-to-USB" is not a commonly attempted maneuver, so I doubt a cookbook recipe exists. :P

Try

sudo fdisk -lu

and

lsusb

in the Konsole, and see if it shows up in either output.

ja, I see her that there is no entry for the hard drive.
It had worked before when the hard drive that was on the usb to ide was a ntsf formated drive. But now that it is ext2 it does not anymore, that is why I think that there is some kind of relatively easy solution.
