mounting hardware

[cable21x]

i don't know much about linux. i need to mount a western digital usb/firewire combo 200 gb harddrive on knoppix 3.3 and i have no clue how to do so. i looked at some other threads and looked through the documentation and help files.

thanks in advance

My USB drive is recognised it it's plugged in and powered on when Knoppix boots. If it's not in&&on, I need to
* Open a Root Shell
*
modprobe usb-storage
* (optional)wait for the sdXY icon to appear :-)
The USB disks are treated as SCSI disks ... they'll be called sdXY where X is a letter, Y a number.

I don't have any firewire to play with :-( I assume there're corresponding facilities.

For firewire:

Load modules and then..

the trick is to use the script rescan-scsi-bus.sh on http://www.linux1394.org/sbp2.html if gscanbus and cdrecord -scanbus don't work for you.
