I have a samsung removable hard drive, which have 3 fat32 partitions on it. When I plug into the usb. nothing happened and i just see a sdc was added in /dev/...so, there's nothing wrong with the drive, because i can use it on windows and ubuntu. can anybody tell me why, thanks for answering
Thank you for answering my question, firstly. then, i have a usb flash drive too, and it is recognized normally and i am able to rw. there is a fat32 partition on my hard disk, and i can mount it and see it, but i can't modify the content of the partition...the methods you mentioned, i have tried before, but it doesn't work. Thank you again for answering
Maybe, but I don't quite understand... And sorry I was not telling it clearly, the partition i can read is in my hard disk, not removable hard drive, and I am using options nouuid and rw... so back to the point, how should I modify the fstab to mount my removable hard drive, thank you again for answering...
As root open a terminal window or console and 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Now attach the drive. Past here, preferably in a BB code block, the output of the drive being attached together with output of running 'fdisk -l; blkid'?
my mistake... sdb refers to the removable hard drive now. I have a flash drive plugged in when i write this initially, so here is the output of the commands
Code:
lsusb

I think i have tried the gnome auto mount, and set up right.
i tried to mount it manually, and it said
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb_fat
mount: /dev/sdb: can't read superblock
If possible I'd remove the drive from the enclosure to bypass chip problems (not all enclosures are the same quality-wise) and attach the disk to the machine directly. If it attaches OK run testdisk with the "/debug /log" switches and see if can recover the partition table.
