External Hard Drive Detection Problem need help

[Ralph De Witt]

Hello:
I just bought a new 500 GB Western Digital My Book external Hard Drive. The 
USB system see it attached as a Unknown device with the My Book attached to 
it. How can I get it recognized as a storage media so that I can use it? Is 
there any hope of this in Kbunbutu? Fedora 8 seems to have no problems with 
it. TIA
