I tough that my computer could not mount external harddisk.
Here is my mail about that subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I use dual booting, vista ubuntu 9.10.
I have just bought a new 1T external harddisk i have used it on windows to backup some files.
Now I want to backup some documents in ubuntu, but the harddisk is not visible, I can't see it, ok I think the term in Linux is that it is not mounted..

Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf959a599

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1176 9437184 27 Unknown

Ubuntu can the external harddisk.this is the external harddisk
Disk /dev/sdg: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

But how come that it is not mounted ??????
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have just test it with 2 different usb keys it can't mount them either.
so it seemed like it can not mount usb keys or external harddisk.
I am using ubuntu 9.10.
