Unable to mount external drive

Trying to mount an external 160GB Toshiba drive but....

this is my dmesg tail output:
[26946.812050] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
[26946.944588] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=13fd, idProduct=1618

this is my /etc/mtab output:

NOTE:
This 160GB drive that is mounted is my internal one, not the external that I am trying to mount.
Aperently im not getting a a drive letter like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 or whatever.

dmesg gives me the vender id which is:
idVendor=13fd, idProduct=1618

so what can i do with that?

Thanks in advance

Device::USB::DevEndpoint(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Device::USB::DevEndpoint(3pm)

Device::USB::DevEndpoint
       This class encapsulates a USB Device endpoint and the methods that object would support.

NAME
Device::USB::DevEndpoint - Access a device endpoint returned by libusb. VERSION
Version 0.11 SYNOPSIS
Device::USB:DevEndpoint provides a Perl object for accessing an endpoint of an interface of a USB device using the libusb library. use Device::USB; my $usb = Device::USB->new(); my $dev = $usb->find_device( $VENDOR, $PRODUCT ); printf "Device: %04X:%04X ", $dev->idVendor(), $dev->idProduct(); $dev->open(); my $cfg = $dev->config()->[0]; my $inter = $cfg->interfaces()->[0]->[0]; my $ep = $inter->endpoints()->[0]; print "Endpoint:", $inter->bEndpointAddress(), " name: ", $dev->get_string_simple($iter->iInterface()), " "; See USB specification for an explanation of the attributes of an endpoint. DESCRIPTION
This module defines a Perl object that represents the data associated with a USB interface endpoint. The object provides read-only access to the important data associated with the endpoint. METHODS There are several accessor methods that return data from the interface. Each is named after the field that they return. These accessors include: bEndpointAddress bmAttributes wMaxPacketSize bInterval bRefresh bSynchAddress DIAGNOSTICS
This is an explanation of the diagnostic and error messages this module can generate. DEPENDENCIES
This module depends on the Carp, Inline and Inline::C modules, as well as the strict and warnings pragmas. Obviously, libusb must be available since that is the entire reason for the module's existence. AUTHOR
