What is this? Did you be able to mount it or you just send a thank you message??!?!?!?!

if i am getting you right you want to use external hard drive with usb interface.
you can mount the external drive same as you mount your internal drive instead of using 'hda' you must use 'sda' in your mount command eg:

to mount internal drive

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cdrive

to mount external drive

mount /dev/sdaX <mount point>

where X is partition number you might use in case of internal drive

hope it helps

1,<fdisk -l> to show the devices recognized by the linux .
2,then choose the exact one to be mounted :
<mount /dev/(to be mounted driver) /mnt/(mount point)>

hope it helps,

The new Linux release should mount USB memory automatically, purely plug-play, same as Windows.
