Harddrive showing in hwinfo, lsusb, but not lsblk or gparted
0
So, I wrote zeros to an external harddrive:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
But now, my external harddrive doesn't show in lsblk or gparted.
dmesg:

By writing zeros to the entire disk, you've overwritten the disk's partition table, so it doesn't look like a partitioned disc to the system.
You can recreate a partition table (GPT or MBR) with gparted, then partition the disk as you wish.
