hi,

I've run it all over again. 

I removed all my USB stuff. Only plugged in my hard disk using a SATA to
USB converter. The converter that I bought also has a external power
chord which I've attached to the hard disk as well. This is all the info
I got. At this time, only one of my USB ports is in use.

The Genesys Logic thing is the hard disk connection. 

[root@070905042 ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
Unable to read /dev/sdb

Some one enquired if I had a PCI slot. I'm not sure. My laptop is an HP
dv6226tx[1]. I don't think it has one. 

The hard disk is pretty old. It doesn't have any warranty. If it isn't
worth the trouble, I can purchase a new one. I just want to be sure I
can use this SATA to USB converter thing to access the HDD drives.
