If something is popping up on your screen...maybe your are lucky. Doing things mentioned above on my system I see things like SCSI device sdb:... [and] sdb: sdb1 From that stick I know that I can mount it by the command 'mount /dev/sdb1 /path/to/where/I/want/to/have/it' Hope that helps.

Mounting an old external USB drive
Hi, Am trying to mount an old BusLink USB drive but can't determine what device the USB drive is connected to, that is, the device that I'd pass to the mount command.
