Locating use hard drive
 

Hi all

I wonder if anyone can help
i have an external hard drive that is connected by USB when using on a windows machine i have to use a driver, would i have to do the same for Linux (slackware), i've connected it to the computer and it isnt in storage media, is this where i would find it, or would i fine it some where else if so where mite this me..

Many Thanks
Brian

PS sorry spelt the Subject wrong use = usb

If it's been detected, you should see signs of it in your syslog. Or just "fdisk -l" should show it.

yeah is there, my question now is how do i access the hard dive..
Cheers

Brian
