External HD not recognised on F7

[fatpapa]

I am using F7.

I have just bought a Western Digital SATA 1 TB Hard drive.

I have placed it in an enclosure connected via USB and nothing!

Is it possible for my system to recognise the device?

[biggsk]

Do a "lsusb".

What is the output?

Thanks for the reply.

What is the output from 'dmesg'?

[fatpapa]

thats it all in 3 parts.

[fatpapa]

I have solved this problem by connecting the external HD to a mac and formatting it to FAT. Now I can plug it in and use it.

[JohnVV]

you do realize that with a fat32 file system there are no user/file permissions ( 777,755,...) and you will never be able to store a video over 4 gig's in size

[fatpapa]

No I didn't realise that.

[biggsk]

Hook it up to a Windows box and format it using NTFS.
Use the NTFS-3G driver for support. Then you should be good to go.

[fatpapa]

Thanks for the advice. The problem is I have no access to Windows. Can I do i t using F7?

[biggsk]

I am not sure of any other way, sorry.

[JohnVV]

you could use GParted to reformat the drive to ext3 or it you really,really like the Microsoft ntfs ( no file permissions )
