Question
I am new to Linux and I'm trying to set up a Linksys USB Hard Drive on my Red Hat Linux computer. Under 'System Tools', 'Hardware Browser', I can see the USB drive as sda1 under /dev/sda.
But when I use 'System Tools', 'Disk Management' I don't see that USB drive but the normal hard drive and floppy drive. Therefore I couldn't use Disk Management to mount it.
Does anyone know what else do I need to do. I want to copy some files from the normal hard drive to my USB drive.

OK, now create a folder /mnt/USB:

mkdir /mnt/USB

then add the following line to /etc/fstab (you have to be root to do both)

/dev/sda /mnt/USB auto noauto,owner,kuzu 0 0

You should now be able to mount your USB drive with the following command:

mount /dev/sda



Please check if that works and post any errors you may get.
