hi,
I've plugged in my harddisk via a SATA/IDE to USB converter to my laptop. The device is created as /dev/sdb, but fdisk -l or parted, gparted do not show it as a drive.
Here's the dmesg output:
scsi8 : usb-storage 1-2:1.0 scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB TO I DE/SATA Device 0041 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk
How do I access my drive? I intend to format it etc. and then set up fedora 13 on it.
Very very funny. LOL!!!
You say the device is created as /dev/sdb, but you dmesg states clearly it is /dev/sdc
Now all you do is
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
or
sudo parted -l /dev/sdc
