I have an external e-sata hard drive that when I plug is does not show under /dev or fdisk -l. I always have to reboot my unbuntu box for it to detect and mount the thing.
How do I manually detect it manually and mount it?
Thank you!
edit: oops. I can't type. err the title should read without reboot. The hard drive works great after a reboot.
Had a spare 500GB Seagate Barracuda Sata II hard drive sitting around dying for something to do.
So I popped it into my PC, switched the Sata wire and power cord from my Ubuntu (Samsung 620GB) hard drive to it.
Used my live CD's, all booted up, then decided to install each OS a number of times. Not one would reboot from the hard drive.
I'm trying to install Fedora 18 (64-bit KDE) on my new SATA hard drive via a Live DVD. Unfortunately, the hard drive is not being detected by the Installer. I've never had this problem before. As an experiment, I tried plugging in my current IDE hard drive with Fedora 17 (64-bit KDE), and the Installer couldn't read that either.
For a few weeks now my Ubuntu 12.04 system has been locking up. The hard drive seemed to keep locking up and going into read-only mode. I have to reboot in order to keep working on it.
So, I decided to just clone the hard drive and see if I can recover it.
When I do a regular copy of all files from the drive to another, it gets to about 110 megs in and gives me an input/output error.

Hi, im running ubuntu 10.04 on a compaq presario laptop with a sempron processor.
I was in the middle (more like the end) of a large file transfer onto a Maxtor OneTouch 1TB external hard drive, when the computer froze. i let it go for about 5 minutes but gave up on it recovering, and i manually shut down.
When i rebooted, the hard drive did not mount.
Hello,
*skip to bold*
I just bought a Toshiba external hard drive to back up my computer. I plugged it in and it didn't appear on the desktop. I restarted the computer and still no go. I tried 'sudo fdisk -l' to find the location but it isn't showing up. What would be the next step here? I am pretty new to linux.
My laptop has two hard drive bays, and just recently I added a second SATA drive (moved it from my old laptop) to the extra bay.Now, anytime the second hard drive /dev/sdb has any heavy disk activity, it appears to cause a shutdown of the SATA port for the first drive (/dev/sda)! Though the second drive is still fine, and I can still write to it until the system crashes from the root drive (
