CentOS 5 Hardware :: External Hard Drive Stopped Working?

Aug 26, 2011

I have a 2TB hard-drive connecting via a usb port on my server for automatic backups. I noticed the backups had stopped working and then I realize I had lost the ability to communicate with the drive.

/sbin/lsusb gives:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046b:ff10 American Megatrends, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046b:ff01 American Megatrends, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 059f:1018 LaCie, Ltd

Hardware :: My External CD Rewriter Has Stopped Working

Jun 27, 2010

I don't know if the drive has just packed up (it is quite old) or if something else is wrong. I haven't actually used it for a long time and I've had quite a few kernel builds since then.The first symptom I noticed is that I can't open the tray except with a paperclip. If I do so, put a disc in and try to mount it, I get "no medium found". Also when I run wodim --scanbus, the drive isn't picked up.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing 11.04 On External Hard Drive Drive?

Jun 19, 2011

I would like to install Linux Ubuntu 11.04 on an external hard drive - its partitioned and ready for Linux.I've downloaded and burnt the .iso file to a DVD so its all good so far...First of all... is this possible without messing up my macbook? I don't particularly want to break into my macbook to disconnect the hard drive (I read on a tutorial for a previous version of Ubuntu that I'd have to do that... - does it still apply to 11.04?) - as it voids the warranty (I checked ).The reason I ask this is because I had a friend who partitioned their internal hard drive and installed Ubuntu on it. But after installation was complete they couldn't boot up Windows 7 or Ubuntu... and it resulted in them having to clean install Windows 7... - I don't want to end up in that situation

Second... If it is possible to install it without messing up my macbook... - Do I just follow the install instructions but just make sure that where possible I make sure that everything is installed on my external hard drive?...I really need someone to put my mind at rest that everything will run smoothly and that I'll be able to run Mac OS X as usual but also that I'll be able to boot from my external hard drive to run Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Networking :: Ethernet Stopped Working After Hard Reboot?

Jun 13, 2010

My computer wouldn't come out of sleep mode, so I had to shut it down improperly. Now there's no ethernet network connection. The NIC works as I can start the computer by wake-on-lan, but somehow Ubuntu no longer sets up a network connection on it.

The green light on the NIC is lit up and blinking. I have changed no settings. It used to get an IP address from the DHCP no problem, but ifconfig now only shows 127.0.0.1.

Networking :: Odd Internet Stopped Working - Symptoms Hard To Describe - Explained?

Jan 8, 2011

im not quite sure how to succintly say what is happening. the general idea is that my internet stopped working and I dont know why. I have a netbook that i am using while i am backpacking through asia. it has both ubuntu netbook ed, and winXP dual booting on it. out of the blue, i could not aquire an ip address through dhcp. This was true in both windows and linux, AND true while using either a wireless or wired connection. ok, that is odd, but not a big deal, i will just set the ip / subnet mask / gateway / dns manually. After doing this the computer reports properly connecting to the internet (did the same tests and got the same results in both nix and winxp), however I could not do anything on the internet. could not ping, nor do a dns lookup much less anything else.

scraching my head I looked around the internet for a solution and came across 'netsh int ip reset' this is a command I typed into the windows command line. I'm not sure what it does, but it worked so far as now

Fedora :: Grub With External Hard Drive?

Jun 19, 2011

I have windows on my box, I have fedora 14 on my external that goes through my usb. Grub is installed on my usb. Since the only thing stored on my external was fedora i really didn't have to do much to it. just go into bios and boot from usb. Now that im using fedora more, Id like to add Vista to my choices. I guess the numbers change once your using an external drive. Ive read some of the problems like mine but they didn't quite do it. Im going to inclose 2 screen shots of my drives/partitions and my grub.conf.

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that

Ubuntu :: Mounting An External USB Hard Drive?

Jan 16, 2010

I'm trying to get ubuntu 9.04 to recognize a Maxtor One Touch III USB external hard drive. This drive has been formatted and used on a Windows XP. I cleared everything off but am trying to see if I can arrange it so that I can back up from linux and access (if need be) from a Windows machine.

Here is what I get with fdisk -l:

Ubuntu :: How To Mount Iso On External Hard Drive?

Jan 18, 2010

I am having problems mounting an iso on my external hard drive. I do not want to move it onto my linux partition because it is 3.6 GB. I have a directory made (/media/iso) that I would like to mount it in, but if that doesn't work then I don't care where it goes. After I mount it I want to be able to run it using Wine, but that will come later. For now I just need to get it mounted. And, of course, I am fairly new to linux/ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: After Formatting External Hard Drive?

Feb 1, 2010

I have a 250GB external hard drive that I want to format to ext4. It will be used to store back ups of my documents, music and pictures. I tried booting the Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD (amd64) and using gparted to delete the partitions that where on the hard drive leaving only unallocated space, then creating one new partition that was ext4. I clicked apply and after a short time it said all operations completed successfully.

Now the problem is it won't let me transfer any documents onto the hard drive, or even create a folder or file. If I go into the properties of the hard drive, under the permissions tab it says I am not the owner...?

Ubuntu :: Can't Mount External Hard Drive Though Can In XP

Feb 23, 2010

I've been checking the Forums and I can't find anything similar to my problem yet. I have 2 external drives that my UBUNTU 9.10 doesn't recognize, although I can see them perfectly in Win XP.I was using them in Ubuntu until 2 weeks ago, when this problem started and I can't find a way to see/mount them again. GPARTED doesn't find any of them; and when aply fdisk -l, can't see them either (only my internal HD).

I run 10.04 lucid in a laptop with EXT4 as filesystem, and I tried to mount an external hard drive from a Windows that, obviously, uses FAT32. Its the first time I try to mount a hard drive (external) since the upgrade to 10.04. Do I have to download some packages via synaptic? If not, what do I have to do?

Plus, I have run

sudo fdisk -l

Ubuntu :: Can't Unmount External Hard Drive

Jun 17, 2010

I have an external hard drive which connects to a usb port. until recently i could unmount it by right clicking on the desktop icon and selecting unmount. now when i try that it tells me that i can't because the device is not in fstab and i am not the root. i checked mtab and it had this line '/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 msdos rw,noexec,nodev,nosuid 0 0' i changed that to '/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 msdos user,rw,noexec,nodev,nosuid 0 0' thinking that would fix it, but it didn't. i unmounted using 'sudo umount /media/usb0' and restarted my computer and now the line in mtab reads '/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 vfat rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime 0 0' and i still can't unmount without using the sudo umount command. i also tried adding '/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 msdos user,rw,noexec,nodev,nosuid 0 0' to fstab and that didn't help
