I have had a similar problem. My external USB drive absolutely cannot be loaded in UBUNTU version 8.04 and version 9.04. In fact, version 9.04 does not even DETECT the external USB hard drive.
In order to have access to my USB external hard drive, I have to use version 7.04. I wonder just what "improvements" were inserted, and what "old" code was removed in order to make versions 8.04 and 9.04 apparently totally incapable of detecting and loading my external USB hard drive. So for "abandoned" version of UBUNTU, because it is so superior to the newer versions. But I will definitely try the next new release, because perhaps those wonderful folks who know so much more than I do, will have fixed this persistent bug that appeared with version 8.04 and persists in the latest version. -- USB Hard Drive Not Accessible, vol_id hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
