[GLLUG] Accessing Data on an IOMega HDD040 desktop HD

[bfdamkoehler]

Does anything show up in /var/log/messages when you plug in the USB 
cable? When you unplug it?

The fact that the blue light lights up seems to indicate that at least 
part of the USB is working (newer USB drives don't tend to power up 
unless a USB cable is plugged in). Have you tried a different USB cable?
