I have a Creative Zen Vision M that has a ZIF Drive (so it's described on the Internet). It seems that iPods and competitors like the Creative Zen Vision M had a disk drive falling into the general category of ZIF. About a year ago, the device stopped working (wouldn't start).

However, when I plugged it in to recharge, the drive was definitely spinning. Youtube has enough videos describing how to disassemble the device, and Amazon has caddies for the drive so that you can plug it into a USB port.

I got one of the caddies, placed the drive into it, connected the cable, and the drive can be seen when doing lsusb. But its not mountable given whatever instructions I have been able to find. I do get the following descriptions when I issue
#> smartctl -i -d scsi -T permissive /dev/sdc

It's being recognized.  What do the journal logs show from when you plugged it in?

This is what journalctl -f reports when it's plugged in:

I assume this was a different time than before. You had sdc before and this is sdb.

No, I had a USB flashdrive on /dev/sdb when I first reported this. The ZIF drive showed up on /dev/sdc.

What do "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" and "file -s /dev/sdb" give you? (Replace block device name as necessary.)
~> fdisk -l /dev/sdb

~> file -s /dev/sdb
