Hello!
I've been installing Xbian on raspberry PI 2 and I tried to connect my 500GB WD Passport hard drive to it. When I power it up xbian loads just fine but drive sounds like it would try to run over and over again. I am unable to see the drive anywhere in Xbian. Then I Exit from xbian and linux command shows me error: Unable to find '/dev/sda'.
I thought it is the problem with not enough current from adapter (5V, 2A), but it should be enough. I hope I make any sense with my english and that there is someone that can help me with my problem.
Pastebin the output of dmesg and post here the output of:
That is the second problem I have. I am unable to login into the sistem remote via SSH or if I exit xbian and try in the console.
I've tried every possible combination I can think of (root/raspberry;pi/raspberry,root/root,root/user, etc). I've tried capital letters and nothing is working. I can connect to device, but unable to login.

Thank you a lot. I couldn't find that online.
ls /dev/sd* gives me:
/dev/sda
And the correct error is: ata_id[7537] Unable to open '/dev/sda'
Have you used this unpowered disk on a Pi and it work?
Yes, I've used it on Pi B 512mb ram. And there it is still working perfectly.
Try mounting it manually.
Terminal
mkdir /home/xbian/tempmnt
sudo mount - t ntfs /dev/sda /home/xbian/tempmnt
Replace ntfs if that isn't the filesystem type and if that doesn't work try /dev/sda1 in the mount line.
Try:
Terminal
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda /home/xbian/tempmnt
If that doesn't work let me see:
lsusb
Terminal
xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /home/xbian/tempmnt
Error opening '/dev/sda': No such device or address
Failed to mount '/dev/sda': No such device or address
Either the device is missing or it's powered down, or you have
SoftRAID hardware and must use an activated, different device under
/dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1) to mount NTFS.
Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.
Sorry, only now realised that is a command I need to type in. Here's the result:
Terminal
xbian@xbian ~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.

I guess you have no more ideas. I do not too.
What type of filesystem is on the drive? I just assumed it was NTFS.
