- Plug in the device
- Issue the command --# dmesg -- It should appear as a SCSI device, you should also be able to read the devices vendor and model. It should be something similar to /dev/sdb.
- Issue the command --# fdisk -l
-- this would determine the partition on the device, usually most of the USB flash and other external drives have only one partition. Your output should be something similar to /dev/sdb1. - Now create a directory by issuing command --# mkdir /mnt/usb -- the directory name should be something easy to remember for you.
- Now you'll have to mount the device by using the mount command -- # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb -- this should mount your device. You can browse to the /mnt/usb directory to view the contents of the USB device.
