if you are using a modern kernel you should see the drive in something like
/media/drivename when you plug it in. if not, just do dmesg|tail and you
should see what the kernel did when it say the device. just document the
drives id and add an entry to /etc/fstab that matches the drives id and the
location you want to mount it to.
if you need help, plug the drive in and do a "dmesg/tail" and cut and paste
the output to an email for me. also send me a copy of your /etc/fstab and i
will help you get it built.
