I had it plugged into the Mint box. After sometime I plugged it out and plugged it into my laptop and again the same errors. Tried another port and same error. Tried another port and it got attached. Really no pattern to it and is driving me crazy. I am worried about data loss as yet to back up all the data. Ordered a new drive for backing up the data and it will arrive in 2-3 days only.

Somewhere it was mentioned that it could be due to some kernel bug. I think the drive is on its deathbed even though it passed all SMART tests. Not able to figure out what exactly the problem is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
