it. Have you run dmesg when you plug the drive in/power it on to
see if Linux notices something plugged in? Take a look at /dev/
to see if there is /dev/sd[bcdef]1, which should be one letter
beyond your optical drive (if you have one). So, if your hard
disk is sda, and optical drive is sdb, then your external drive
will most likely be sdc.

<div>dmesg is your best starting point though as it will show you
the device name so that you can mount it manually.</div>

New, Courier, monospace">How it is with USB. I am aware
that my question may be somewhat silly. <br>
<br>
There is this:<br>
/sbin/lsusb<br>
<br>
It lists devices connected through USB.<br>
<br>
Why sometime not all devices are listed? I noticed that
twice: a sort of USB webcam was not listed, and now I
have at work an external 2 TB drive (Toshiba) that is
not listed.<br>
<br>
I would rather think that all connected to USB ports
devises should be listed. If they could be used from
Linux - thats another question, possibly.<br>
<br>
BTW, instruction for that Toshiba external drive writes:
manual is on the disk itself. Yhm... So I would have to
access the drive from windows to read manual. Yhm... I
noticed though by scanning the web that Toshiba does
rather not offer Linux support.<br>
<br>
Anyway, any ideas if I am able to use that external USB
drive?<br>
