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
