Type dmesg, and look for an entry like this after your plug in the hard
disk:


Code:
--------------------
    usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
  usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
  scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  usb-storage: device found at 7
  usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access     WD       3200JB External  0108 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
  SCSI device sdb: 625142448 512-byte hdwr sectors (320073 MB)
  sdb: Write Protect is off
  sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
  sdb: assuming drive cache: write through

--------------------


>From the above, my hard disk is /dev/sdb, and sdb1 is the partition
with all of my data.

Once you have that information, you need to mount that partition. First
create a mountpoint - eg, /mnt/music:


Code:
--------------------
    mkdir /mnt/music
--------------------


Then mount the drive there:

Code:
--------------------
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/music
--------------------


If this works, you can look into mount-time options and so on.

Good luck!
