External 1TB WD USB 3.0 HDD is not detecting. Working perfectly find in Windows
- by Yathi
My 1TB USB 3.0 was working fine earlier in Ubuntu as well as Windows. But lately it is not at all being detected in Ubuntu. It still works fine in Windows. I did update my Ubuntu to 12.10 but I am not sure if that caused the issue.
When I connect my HDD and run dmesg | tail:
[ 47.804676] usb 4-3: >Device not responding to set address.
[ 48.008575] usb 4-3: >Device not responding to set address.

The output of sudo fdisk -l is :

/dev/sda and /dev/sdb are my 2 internal HDDs. But the external one which should be /dev/sdc is not even being shown though it is connected and the LED on the HDD is glowing.
Someone had suggested adding blacklist uas to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Tried that as well. But still not working. Can someone help me out.
