Hi and Welcome !

check in /media folder. execute 'df -h' command and check if it shows any new drive/partition.

opened the media folder, right clicked, opened terminal

azrael@azrael-desktop:/media$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 73G 3.4G 66G 5% /

Ok, i have a 160 gig drive, shows up 149gb, it's connected, and still can't find it, usb drive btw. i don't know the procbususb, only thing usb i saw and its listing 502MB, or am i wrong here.

hi ,
try using fdisk command but be carefull and read man page of it before u use .

# fdisk -l
this will list all the partitions on ur machine
if ur external drive is detected then it will show it as sda partition.
try mounting it manually.

hope it will work out for u..

regards,

Which Linux distro do you have?
Post the output of fdisk -l command too.
