    Hi hastega,

    What type of hard drive? USB attached or internal?

    If it is a USB drive, run the following command as you plug it in:

    Code:
    tail -f /var/log/messages
    And look for a message with something like

    Code:
    /dev/sda1
    If it's an internal drive, run the following to list the devices:

    Code:
    fdisk -l
    Which will give us a starting point for helping you.

    It's internal hard drive, and when I type in the command fdisk -l nothing happen it just as if you press enter that all it does.

    Which distribution of Linux are you using?
    If you are trying to mount an internal hard drive, where are you trying to mount it from?
    Do you have your operating system on another internal or external hard drive?
    Did you enter the fdisk command suggested as root user?
    Is whatever distribution of Linux you have the only operating system you have?
