just plug it in ... it will work fine
Just to let you know that this isn't always the case:

Fortunately the Matrox 500GB USB drive I got seems to
work fine. Reformatted it from NTFS to ext3 and now have
a cron job rsyncing gobs of stuff to it every night.
The one thing that confused me a little was that nothing
shows up in the output from "lsusb", but /dev/sdc
certainly shows up, so it must be working. I just put
down lsusb to another linux mystery :-).
I found a USB floppy drive at a yard sale... yeah I know... kill me now.
I plugged it in, but it's not coming up although lsusb shows it. The
drive whirrs and the head steps, I can hear it doing so. But nothing
pops up to ask what to do with it nor is there any entry in /media for
it. Damn thing sounds like it's formatting the disk!! Weird. lsusb
shows:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 03f0:4c11 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0a90:f350 Candy Technology Co., Ltd
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Candy Tech, who would have figured. Anyone know of this "device" ?
