USB Drive is not working on Lubuntu

  • 772

I've a 16GB USB 3.0 drive and it's not working on either Lubuntu 18.04 or Windows 10.

What I tried:

  • Connecting to other ports.
  • Trying EaseUs Partition Master and Partition Wizard on Win 10 but both are not even detecting the device.
  • "Disks" program on Lubuntu is not detecting/listing the device.

Here is the output of dmesg | grep -i USB:

    Try your disk on a USB 2.0 port, or a completely different machine & os.

    Disable of device-initiated U1 failed usually indicates there is a device failure, instead of an OS failure and you will have to buy a new drive.
