I bought a Cables-to-go USB to IDE/SATA Adapter (Model # 30504) to read
some old drives sitting around. I hook it up and it seems to connect
and tell the host that it's there. But it doesn't mount automatically,
and I can't mount it manually. In fact, I can't seem to read it at all.
When I connect, I get the following from dmesg:
usb 2-4.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
usb 2-4.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Attached SCSI disk
sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg8 type 0
Same stuff is in /var/log/messages
I have a /dev/sdh, but no partition devices (No /dev/sdh{1,2,3,etc}).
When I try to read the raw device with dd, I get 0 blocks:
# dd if=/dev/sdh of=/dev/null
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 3.1811e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s
Does anyone know how to use this thing?
I've tried with several different drives, one out of my system that I
know is working right. Both IDE and SATA. I've googled around a bit
for help, but nothing seems to be this problem. I'm just missing
something basic, aren't I?
Thanks,
Robert
