Comment 1 for bug 164732

I am also having a similar problem. When I copy large files (like distro isos) to my USB hard drive, they copy successfully, but do not show up in the file system if I plug the hard drive into another computer. Also, they are not there when I plug it back into the gutsy desktop. I have the same chipset as mentioned above. I also do believe it is not a hardware error as I use this hard drive at work all day on a windows desktop and everything I copy to it is there when I get home. The hard drive is a western digital usb 2.0 traveler? model. It is a laptop hard drive inside that pulls all of its power from the USB port. Hope this helps.
