USB Hard disk drive.

Hi Felipe, thank you for your answer. I tried what you suggested but with no
results. That's the output for "dmesg | tail" after unload/reload command:

 [17185740.064000] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

[17185747.760000] usb-storage: device scan complete

It seems to find the device but still there is no device mounted in my
system or "/dev/sdaX" device that I could mount.

Here the "lsusb" output:

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0402:5642 ALi Corp.
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:c016 Logitech, Inc. M-UV69a Optical Wheel Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

What else could I try??

Thank you!
