If not, issue this command. modprobe usbstorage (the name of the module may be usb-storage not usbstorage, I can't remember) 6. Issue this command: dmesg > messages.txt Now, mail the messages.txt file to me so that I can review the kernel messages. You should send this to me privately so as not to clog the list with it.
