You don't say which OS you run, so just do 'fdisk -l' to find out what partitions are available and which X in /dev/sdX was assigned to it by whichever USB discovery daemon found it when you attached it.
That is a good way. Best run it also before to be able to compare what was added. On some machines it can be confusing.
I usually run dmesg to see if the USB device was properly detected and what actual disks and partitions where discovered.
fdisk is more precise there because it shows what is a partition and what not. Sometimes /dev/sdb is the device to be mounted and sometimes it is /dev/sdf1.
fdisk -l did not give me any information about the USB device but your dmesg gave me following: [10628.006088] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [10628.007803] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Asking for cache data failed [10628.007812] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Assuming drive cache: write through [10628.011793] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [10628.012914] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Asking for cache data failed [10628.012922] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Assuming drive cache: write through [10628.012930] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Attached SCSI disk At least the drive is attached but does not seem to respond. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc6-2-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1) 20:26pm up 5:29, 3 users, load average: 2.37, 1.18, 0.94 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
