No, nobody is able to mount this drive.

How many threads are you going to start on this?

I provided you with two links:

One with possible solutions, another with a link to the Seagate/Maxtor
forum that shows that these USB drives are flakey even in Windows. That
last also has some possible solutions - one being returning the drive
and/or taking the drive out and using it in another enclosure.

Linux can't read the partition table. That means either it (the
partition table) can't be automatically detected or the drive is
toast. What do you see if you interrogate the partition table:


sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Based on the previous what happens when you try to mount a partition
with something like this:


sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda[n] /media/usbhdd

where "[n]" is the NTFS partition number detected with fdisk and
assumes the mount point "/media/usbhdd" already exists. If the mount
point doesn't exist simply execut "sudo mkdir -p /media/usbhdd".


HTH,
