Device works at Windows but doesn't appear at /dev. How can I mount it?

So let's go to the infos...

uname -a:

Linux deeptought 3.13.0-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 9 22:45:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Being new in this forum I can only post 2 links, so this will be kinda messy... sorry =/

At this link you'll find the output of lsusb, mount, /var/log/kern.log and /var/cache/powertop/saved_results.powertop

That's all the relevant information I could think of... please let me know if I can contribute with something else...

Thanks in advance for any help!!

  • What file system is the disk? NTFS, Fat32 etc?

    @BigChris Shouldn't matter...there could be NO filesystem, but the device should still show up in /dev.

  • Unplug the disk in Ubuntu, do dmesg | tail, plug it back in and do dmesg | tail again and paste the second tail up. Could do with seeing the messages for that device.
