cannot mount external hard drive
I am unable to mount an external hard drive. I have tried dmesg | grep usb, tail /var/log/messages, mounting /dev/sda1 and whole lot of stuff, but I cannot seem to locate where it is in /dev. Anyway, here is the output of the commands I mentioned, becuase I am pretty sure they do not contain the assignment of the drive, but I am not positive.
dmesg | grep usb

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbmount
Code:
/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
Anyway, I would really really appreciate any help.
PS: Every time I mount it, /var/log/messages seems to increase the number the device is found at (in the case above it is 3) and I have no clue what it means or whether or not that info would help anyone.
