Hello George, Firts you must be an administrator to mount the drive so do sudo su and insert in the password.
Then do fdisk -l to list the device name. For example /dev/sdb After getting the device name then do mount /dev/sdb /media Then browse to media to see the mounted drive using cd /media Hope that helps Mugisha Joanna Anna Email:jnankumba <email%[email protected]>@gmail.com Skype:Nankumba Joanna Anna, LinkedIn: Nankumba Joanna Anna.
