USB Drive

[Cyber Source]

Plug the drive in and do a "dmesg" at a command prompt. It will probably 
be detected as /dev/sda?, it doesn't always go to the first partition. 
You could also type "/sbin/fdisk -l" (that's a small L) and that would 
show all the partitions of all the drives detected by the system, then 
mount accordingly. If the drive doesn't get detected, then we can go 
from there.
