As root, type dmesg | more. Near the end of the output you should see what the FW drive is recognized as. (Mine was /dev/sda, I'd bet yours is too.)
Assuming it has one partition, which, if it was a Windows drive, is likely the case, then the partition in question will be /dev/sda1. So, the first time type: mkdir /mnt/sda1 (this makes the mount point) To actually mount the drive do mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1. If Linux for some reason doesn't recognize the filesystem, to mount -t<your FS> /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 where <your FS> is whatever the filesystem is. (vfat for FAT32, ntfs for... NTFS, ext2 etc...) To have the drive mount automatically on boot you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file.
