have more information about this: when you plug the usb hard drive in and then boot ubuntu the system recognizes the drive and i can mount and unmount the drive with no problems i have copied and written 700 meg files with no problems, it is only when i remove the usb cable and then plug it in the problems occur
i was asked if the dive had been removed safely under xp i tried this and then plugged the usb hdd with ubuntu and the same problem occurred, it did not seem to make any difference i repeated the experiment five times and the results were completely consistent as long as i plugged in the usb cable before i booted ubuntu it worked fine -- FAT partition on usb hdd won't mount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211596 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
