Well, I tried plugging the Dazzle directly into another USB port, and it mounts just fine. So, why can't the stick mount through the hub? The "real" disc mounts fine.

The USB ports on this machine are in the back, and it's inside an armoire so basically enclosed. Since the Dazzle needs to move to other computers as well, it's inconvenient to pull the CPU box out and plug it in that way. I'd just run the cable up to the top and leave it that way, otherwise, but it does need to move.

In syslog I see problems reading the MBR from the "disc", and fdisk can't read it, either.
