That's bad...<br>
That suggests that the drive doesn't trigger udev, which most likely means that is damaged, but a 'pull without mounting' would not do that, so: <br><div class="im">

If you see nothing, it's probably hosed...<br>

Michael, I am no following the thread but:<br>
BEFORE PLUGING IN THE DRIVE:<br>
cp /proc/partitions /tmp/partitions<br>
AFTER PLUGING IN THE DRIVE:<br>
sdiff -s /proc/partitions /tmp/partitions<br>
Whatever you see is your partition, then:<br></div>
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd${YOUR_PARTITION_**<u></u>THAT_YOU_FOUND_ABOVE}<div><div class="h5"><br>
Then create a new partition (cfdisk) and mk2fs it.<br>
YMMV...<br>

well.... I just went to officemax to see if windows could format it. it<br>
could not and the guys there said my drive was corrupted. So I bought a<br>
new<br>
one. I still have the 'corrupted' drive if there are any ideas out there<br>
in<br>
plug land about how to fix it. (it is so upsetting.... the drive isn't a<br>
year old yet)<br>

Pull the drive out and do:<br>
cat /proc/partitions<br>
Then insert the drive into your computer, count to 10 and run the above<br>
command again. The new drive that shows up is the one you just inserted.<br>
If you don't see any differences, run it again, the drive just might be<br>
slow in connecting to you system. If it doesn't show up at all, it might<br>
be damaged and isn't going to show up... try turning it off and back on<br>
again :)<br>

Well, I stuck a usb drive into the computer, opened a terminal, and<br>
copied files to it. Then I forgot to umount the drive and pulled the<br>
drive out. Now I need to format it and do not know how to do that. How<br>
do I see what the drive is being called when I stick it in?<br>
