[no subject]

for myself, I always boot a knoppix disk and go from there.  that way I am not dependant on my installed software being configured correctly (modules and the like).

boot knoppix
su to root in a terminal
type "qtparted" (no quotes) and see if the disk is recognized.  (you may need to partition/format it so the OS's can see it)

after you are finished checking with QTParted

in the terminal you can do:
mount /dev/sda1
to mount the usb drive (may need to be root)

when you can see it and know it works then go to your other systems and start trouble shooting.
