You have to "mount" the HDD (actually you mount some file system on a partition in said HDD). Usually, depending on your setup, that can happen automatically. You now have to find out where in your file system the thing is mounted (under DOS you had to find out which drive letter that thing ended up as). Now the details depend on your set up. Do you use a desktop environment? What "happens" (as seen from your perspective) when you insert an external drive (presumable with a USB interface)? > Any help would be most appreciated. Tell us more details and someone might be able to help :-) Cheers -- t
