pmpatrick Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Who made the enclosure? Check very carefully that the the drive is properly jumpered and installed in the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dhowse Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Firstly this evening I have come in and turned on my laptop and logged in as myself(normal user account) Low and behold there is an icon on the desktop that recognises the actual hard drive in the USB enclosure. I can access it and read all contents. I am lost. Anyhow here is a copy of the output Module Size Used by cpufreq_ondemand 5244 0 cpufreq_powersave 1376 0 speedstep-centrino 6196 1 nfsd 210272 9 exportfs 4672 1 nfsd lockd 59144 2 nfsd sunrpc 122788 12 nfsd,lockd raw 6720 1 md5 3648 1 ipv6 232320 22 hidp 11968 2 rfcomm 33692 0 l2cap 20644 10 hidp,rfcomm bluetooth 41380 5 hidp,rfcomm,l2cap snd-usb-audio 65472 1 snd-usb-lib 13696 1 snd-usb-audio snd-rawmidi 19648 1 snd-usb-lib snd-seq-dummy 2596 0 snd-seq-oss 31584 0 snd-seq-midi-event 6208 1 snd-seq-oss snd-seq 47472 5 snd-seq-dummy,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq-device 6796 4 snd-rawmidi,snd-seq-dummy,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq snd-pcm-oss 49056 0 snd-mixer-oss 17248 1 snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0 29184 1 snd-ac97-codec 75256 1 snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm 80712 4 snd-usb-audio,snd-pcm-oss,snd-intel8x0,snd-ac97-codec snd-timer 20324 2 snd-seq,snd-pcm snd-page-alloc 7428 2 snd-intel8x0,snd-pcm snd 46980 15 snd-usb-audio,snd-rawmidi,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-seq-device,snd-pcm-oss,snd-mixer-oss, snd-intel8x0,snd-ac97-codec,snd-pcm,snd-timer soundcore 7104 1 snd af_packet 16232 2 pcmcia 18632 4 yenta_socket 19720 2 rsrc_nonstatic 9056 1 yenta_socket pcmcia_core 41504 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic video 13892 0 thermal 10600 0 tc1100-wmi 5188 0 processor 18164 2 speedstep-centrino,thermal fan 3108 0 container 3040 0 button 4880 0 battery 7460 0 ac 3300 0 eth1394 17160 0 ipw2200 73352 0 firmware_class 7360 1 ipw2200 ieee80211 20644 1 ipw2200 ieee80211_crypt 4068 2 ipw2200,ieee80211 8139too 21376 0 mii 4224 1 8139too ide-cd 36772 0 ohci1394 30916 0 ieee1394 292088 2 eth1394,ohci1394 loop 13544 0 nls_cp850 4544 1 vfat 11200 1 fat 35964 1 vfat nls_iso8859-1 3744 3 ntfs 205176 2 intel-agp 19996 1 agpgart 28168 1 intel-agp nvram 6984 0 sd_mod 15920 2 xpad 9408 0 evdev 7744 1 tsdev 6016 0 quickcam 73476 0 videodev 7264 1 quickcam usb-storage 71136 1 scsi_mod 115784 2 sd_mod,usb-storage usbmouse 4608 0 usbhid 43648 0 ehci-hcd 28456 0 uhci-hcd 28816 0 usbcore 105880 10 snd-usb-audio,snd-usb-lib,xpad,quickcam,usb-storage,usbmouse,usbhid,ehci-hcd,uhci-hcd reiserfs 261012 1 The output of the fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 5949 47785311 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 7289 7296 64260 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 5950 7224 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 7225 7288 514080 82 Linux swap /dev/hda5 7289 7296 64228+ b W95 FAT32 Partition table entries are not in disk order Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 9729 78148161 7 HPFS/NTFS Everything looks ok now and works how I want it to.

Also the mcc settings are haldaemon running on boot ticked harddrake running on boot ticked hotplu stopped on boot not ticked Hopefully it will stay like this when I next restart it and it stays stable. I will take it as fixed now and thatnks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dhowse Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Well this is weird as I turned my laptop off last night. Turned it on this morning and when I logged in as the user, the drive was not on the desktop as mentioned previously. The folder was there under /mnt/removable but nothing to see..... Help???

pmpatrick Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) Well, that is strange. When the drive doesn't come up did you do lsmod to make sure the necessary driver modules were loaded? That's the first thing to check when the problem arises. Another thing that can screw things up in linux is removing the drive while it is mounted; I always unmount the drive before removing it if linux is running. I'd also double check that enclosure if you installed the drive yourself. Edited June 23, 2005 by pmpatrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
