I have another laptop with windows. Since it's reiserfs I won't be
able to check anything.
This hd worked before the usb ports fried.
I tried the pcmcia+cable and it doesn't help in the case with this hd.
I tried both ports of the pcmcia and this hd, and it's the same. Other
devices work on both ports.

The hd has external power supply. Either the hd was damaged, or it's a
usb configuration issue. I updated the kernel and maybe something
related to ohci isn't correct.

I will try to intsall the other laptop with dual boot and check if the
hd works there. If not, I will try the usb guys. Do you happen to know
their mailing list?
