[ale] WD 120 GB USB drive

[mike barnes]

Yes, am sure that it is not being mounted. I did not format the drive since
it contains my wife's pictures and I would be killed if she lost these
pictures.

What is interesting is that a USB flash drive works perfectly fine while
this USB hard drive appears to not event be recognized.
