Hi everyone,
My 2TB My Book western digital external drive died after a tiny bump from my elbow. I bought a new one, 4 TB. I connected it to my computer (host Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit), and it seemed ok - until I tried to connect it to my virutal machines, where I mostly need it - and it simply doesnt work. I have an ubuntu 13.04 64 bit machine and the new 4tb is not recognized. In the ubuntu it simply doesnt show, no messages, anything. I'm starting to get desperate with all my WD drives giving these problems - I thought about trying to mount the drive manually on my ubuntu vm. The old 2TB drive that I had used to automount without any problems. And this one mounts ok in the host, so I dont understand why it is not showing in the vm. Someone suggested to me that maybe the problem is the 4TB size - is this an issue with vmware? If yes, what is the solution? It cant be a linux problem because on the host it works ok. Any other suggestions what could be the problem, what I could try to do?
Thanks in advance,
