What does "not recognized" mean? Hard drives are useless before you partition them and install filesystems on the partition(s). Can't parted, fdisk or cfdisk find it? What does 'lsusb' show?
There are some of those external drives that require Windows to work or deliver full funtion. I don't recall the details though.
Maybe you mean those with an ethernet plug and a cpu, supporting samba and sometimes some functions requiring windows. Some can be directly connected to Internet, too. They may have also an USB plug (client and/or server). I also read of an Iomega or Seagate (not sure which) disk that when it went to sleep was not awake-able from Linux, only from windows, because it returned to life in USB version 1, ie, lower speed. It was commented here some months ago. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
