Hardware - getting gexternal hard drive work under kanotix nitto - 04.11.2006, 12:57 Uhr Titel: getting gexternal hard drive work under kanotix
G'day
How can I get my new usb2 extrernal hdd to work on my comp?
I've enclosed my unused ide hdd into an usb2 external enclosure (Ritmo Aluminium enclosure for usb/sata hdd) , thinking that it'd show up on the desktop once I plug it in but naturall it didn't work that way...
Are there anything else could be done to get this workin?.
cheers

I do frequent du's so my system is as current as it can get and
Code:
fdisk -l
doesn't show the external usb enclosure.
I presumed this would work like the usb sticks, plug it in, it'll show up on your desktop!!
Code:
$nito# apt-cache policy hal
