I just bought a USB device adn when I plug it in I can't see it.
Can anyone tell me how to mount it? I expected it to register like my

I tried the Syste mTools > Disk Manager and Hardware Browser.
Thanks,

Now I will jump in late.
Has this drive ever worked on Linux?
What does tail show for /var/log/messages when you plug the drive into
the USB port.
# tail -f /var/log/messages
You should see something like.

Now the next question is your HAL daemon running?
service --status-all |grep hald

I ask this as my hald is stopped and I cannot automount my USB HD or
stick.
