lsmod | grep usb-storage
is that module loaded?if not
modprobe usb-storage
then mount it,something like
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
if that doesn't work try reloading the module
rmmod usb-storage
modprobe usb-storage
Before migrating from Mandriva 2006 to Debian 3.1 r2 I copied everything on /home/robin to an external hard drive which connects to my PC through a usb port. I had planned to copy it back to my hdd after the Debian install was complete.
I now have Debian installed but it doesn't recognize my usb port. I have tried to find it using konqueror and from a terminal as su without success. I have also installed discover but this didn't help.
