Hi dunes-dude,

Give us the output of this command, you may require to change user to root and invoke it.

Change to root: su (password and press enter)

then: fdisk -l

Paste the output here.

Good luck!

i can see the hard disk in the terminal now ad dev/sdb1 but how can i acces it

Well, if you don't already have one, you need to create a mount point for it.

mkdir /mnt/sdb1

Then you can try mounting it, if you know the filesystem type.

mount -t "type" /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

Where "type" is your filesystem type such as ext3 or vfat
Check the man page for mount.

man mount
