When I plug it in nothing happens. Trying to mount /dev/sda gives:

This is like mounting a CDROM with no CD in it.
Instead of sda, you should use dm-0 or dm-1.
I get:
mount /dev/dm-0 /mnt mount: /dev/dm-0: can't read superblock
So the device exists.
and:
mount /dev/dm-1 /mnt mount: special device /dev/dm-1 does not exist
_Not_?
*** How about /var/log/messages? What appears there _right_after_ plugging in the device?
It gives this:

(earlier email) fdisk tells you you've got
/dev/dm-0: 3150 MB
and
/dev/dm-1: 48.3 GB
This totals to about 52.4 GB. That's 1/5 of what you say the size is: 250 GB. That is *strange*. It should add up to about 250 GB.
*** Better take your time and sort things out! ;-)
BTW, is it this drive:
No, it doesn't look like that. But maybe the case has changed. . .
Cheers,
Leen
Could it be the hardware that's at fault?
Cheers and thanks for trying. Steve.
Just skimming through the thread.... Firstly what does the tool lsusb tells you? For my usbstick it says: ursa:/var/log # lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1606:0010 Umax [hex] Astra 1220U Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0951:1600 Kingston Technology Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 And in verbose mode: ursa:/var/log # lsusb -v -s 1:3 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0951:1600 Kingston Technology Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x0951 Kingston Technology idProduct 0x1600 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 Kingston iProduct 2 DataTraveler II iSerial 3 5B580D0039A5 <snip> Secondly, as /var/log/messages is talking about: sde, what does: fdisk /dev/sde tells you? (presuming the kernel keeps on detecting the drive as "/dev/sde" each time you remove/insert (or power-off/power-on) the drive....
