Can someone help me. I have a 100gb Seagate USB external drive formatted FAT32. I keep mp3's on it. I have not been able to get it recognized or mounted with Kubuntu since ver. 6.1. I am now using 8.04 KDE4. This drive works fine in Windows 2000 or XP. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Cannot mount USB Drive
Interesting!
I have no USB recognition (no headset, no memory stick etc.)
But I followed the suggestion posted by Dibl and got an output similar to yours:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 13fe:1a00 Kingston Technology Company Inc. 512MB/1GB Flash Drive
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
IN other words, somewhere in there, there is recognition!
I am booting with the word "noapic" appended to the kernel line in the grub (because otherwise my laptop's screen would go black)
This "noapic " is known to disable USB. In Gutsy, the additional "irqpoll" brought back the USB. No such luck now in Hardy.
These abracadabra words mean nothing to me - but this was all well documented by others who apparently knew what they were doing.
Is this something that is familiar to you?Comment

Re: Cannot mount USB Drive
YES!
I removed the "noapic" from the grub, and lo and behold:
a) there was no black screen
b) the USBs are all nicely recognised!
The implications are - and somebody should post news of this in a visible place - that those of us dual-booting laptop users who had to add that "noapic", and who are upgrading from Gutsy (i.e. not running a clean install) have to actively remove the "noapic"!
Hope this solves your problem too.Comment
