Comment 3 for bug 261710

Thanks flodesirat, I just did, but it did not help. I keep getting the
same error. I used "Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool 2.36 build 1181";
a curious thing, forgive my ignorance, is that the low level format
left the directory structure intact and a footprint of all the files;
the files were useless (that if, if a click on a .xls document, it'll
give me an error), but the names were there. After the low level
format, I just did a fat32 format using windows XP. This time, Ubuntu
does not recognize the disk even once.

Does this outcome of the low level format sound reasonable to you?

Thanks!

Nelson

In principle, it was not recognized in any of my two machines with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 64 Bits (other usb keys work fine). After a fresh format with fat32, both machines recognize it, but after a while ( using the disk 3 or 4 times), Ubuntu does not recognized them anymore. the typical dmesg is:
