Mounting Unkown USB hard drive
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and I have a 320gb external no-name hard drive that i want to use. The light shows that the drive is working properly. I can't find the drive listed in my computer.
A generic USB drive files shows up in my /dev/disk/by-id I have a sdb listed in /dev I made a directory for sdb in /media and used the command to mount it
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/sdb
I got a red light on the drive, and the error
Code:
mount: mount point /media/sbd does not exist
The drive enclosure does not state that is supports linux. Am I screwed?
