LinuxQuestions.org - mounting usb music player

I need help understanding how to mount my cowon iAudio 7. According to nautlius the music player is already mounted. But I cannot access ( due to file permissions ) it as I can do with my external usb/ide drive.

Here is fdisk -l

First internal drive with Windows 7

Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x20f86de2

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2

Second drive with Lenny 64 bit

Below is the Cowon iAudio7 music player

<CODE>

Disk /dev/sdc: 16.5 GB, 16542334976 bytes

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 ? 912975 995343 84344761 69 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdc4 1409025 1409050 26207+ 0 Empty
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

This is my external USB/IDE hard drive where I maintain personal files including mail. That means I point icedove to look for folders on this drive. This means I and have to mount a local directory to connect to this drive every time I boot.

i.e.

mount /dev/sdd1 myhome

( myhome being a folder on sdc. I have not been able to do that with the cowon. If you know of a more efficient way of maintaining your personal data securely please let me know.

Here is my FSTAB. There are two external usb drives missing. Namely, an external dvd reader, sdd and the cowon. I would be grateful if you can show me how to add them and if this will do away
of the neccessity of having to mount the drives manually each time I boot.
