In that case, you have me flummoxed.  You can format it,
but it is not loaded as a drive by the system.  It would seem
to be some sort of device driver problem, except that you
can format the drive with GPartEd.
Sorry, I cannot help you further.  This is one for a kernel expert
or a USB expert.
Good luck!

Charles
