I have a Creative Zen Vision M that has a ZIF Drive (so it's described on
the Internet). It seems that iPods and competitors like the Creative Zen
Vision M had a disk drive falling into the general category of ZIF. About a
year ago, the device stopped working (wouldn't start).
However, when I plugged it in to recharge, the drive was definitely
spinning. Youtube has enough videos describing how to disassemble the
device, and Amazon has caddies for the drive so that you can plug it into a
USB port.
I got one of the caddies, placed the drive into it, connected the cable,
and the drive can be seen when doing lsusb. But its not mountable given
whatever instructions I have been able to find. I do get the following
descriptions when I issue
#> smartctl -i -d scsi -T permissive /dev/sdc
It's being recognized. What do the journal logs show from when you plugged
it in?
This is what journalctl -f reports when it's plugged in:

Is there a way to mount this drive in order to recover the data?
Maybe the reason the device stopped working was because the drive was dead?
