problem mounting external hdd
 

Hi!
Could anybody help me mounting an external hdd to Ubuntu 9.04?

(Don't know if I 've done anything wrong, but there's no reply to the "fdisk -l" command)

thanks in advance

I'm assuming it's USB? Try running the command lsusb as root and seeing whether it's seen there.

Sorry, I have this information in the fdisk -l command

Disk /dev/sda: 164.6 GB, 164696555520 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Yes, it's a usb and I get this information to the lsusb command

Problem solved!
thanks!
