  • If the device is recognized by Ubuntu as a CD-ROM, that means that the device is trying to load a (Windows) driver. You may need a USB modeswitch setting for this particular brand/model of USB device.

I got the same device running fine on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. You may try to re-partition/format the device with an other file-system (mine is using ext3 /w TrueCrypt).
