Problem: I had been able to install "standard" Red Hat on a somewhat aging Celeron with a 10GB hard drive to which I added a Maxtor 40GB USB 2.0 external drive. Partition Magic "liked" the external, too. It seems that whatever I'm doing wrong, Fedora 2 will not recognize that there is a USB 2.0 disk.
I'd cleared about 125 MB on the original disk for /boot storage with the intention of loaded the other material on the USB disk. No such luck if Fedora can't seem to find the drive.
What am I not doing that I should be doing?
Many thanks.

It probably HAS been seen but you haven't mounted it.
Check your /var/log/messages when you attach the drive.
By the way, a lot of this USB stuff has been covered repeatedly - the archives may also give you the info you need.
