Am trying to mount an old BusLink USB drive but can't determine what device the USB drive is connected to, that is, the device that I'd pass to the mount command. I tried "fdisk -l" but it only appears to show my other internal HDs.
Here is one (though unsexy) way to do it: (1) Press M-C-F1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) on your keyboard (2) Plug in your stick (3) Wait... If something is popping up on your screen...maybe your are lucky. Doing things mentioned above on my system I see things like SCSI device sdb:... [and] sdb: sdb1 From that stick I know that I can mount it by the command 'mount /dev/sdb1 /path/to/where/I/want/to/have/it' Hope that helps. Sam
