The above lines are not relevant to USB disk.

Open a terminal window and give the following command:

tail -f /var/log/kern.log

This will show what is being reported to kernel log. Plug in you drive
and note the new output lines in terminal. These might be relevant to
whatever issue there is with the disk.
