[Scottish] usb2 hard drive not being recognised anymore

[Mike Insch]

Hi All, (Lurker jumping in)

What's the output of lsusb after plugging in the drive?
Are you sure this is a possibly borked drive? Could it be a borked USB
Controller?
Were any updates (particularly kernel modules etc) installed on the
system recently? Did they all work?
