Thread: Usb 3.0 external hard drive crashes ubuntu when plugged into usb 3.0 port


i bought iomega prestige 1 tb usb 3.0 portable external hard drive amazon, having problems in natty.

first off when plugged windows, noticed virtual cd iomega software , hard drive icon came up. don't want iomega software booted ubuntu format drive , rid of it.

when plugged drive in in ubuntu hard crashed, gave me black screen lot of esoteric writing on it.

rebooted ubuntu drive plugged usb 2.0 port , worked virtual cd , harddrive seperate again.

thought cd thing might cause of crash , ran partition editor, try , repartition drive. time gparted saw 1 hard drive 1 partition , bit of empty space @ end. deleted partition , created new 1 using space time, minus 1 or 2 megs on either end.

however, hasn't solved thing, still have virtual cd , hard drive seperate, , ubuntu still dies horrible death second plug drive usb 3.0 port...

know how rid of virtual cd, , how make work usb 3.0 in ubuntu?...

thanks!

well ended returning drive because on windows chdsk revealed shed load of bad sectors , other errors.

on replacement drive, able solve part of problem deleting virtual cd partition using updated iomega utility 1.3.

has removed virtual cd in both windows , ubuntu, ubuntu won't recognise drive when plugged usb 3.0 port... i've posted in thread.
