I did that but no change was detected in the var/log/messages even while the drive was plugged and unplugged a few times.
Now connect the disk and then check the output on the terminal, if the
system detects /anything/ connected to the USB port the event would be logged. If the system detects the disk but start complaining with something like 'DiskReadError' (I don't know the exact strings ...but something to that effect) ...then it's time to dig out that warranty card/purchase receipt.
If you don't get any such messages, paste the messages you get here and we can debug this further.
I will try again with the USB 2 ports and see if its a USB1 vs USB2 issue. Thanks for the help.
