    Hello and Welcome.
    Is this a USB drive? It should detect automagically if it's USB.
    You can try several commands to see if it really is there, try these.
    Code:
    sudo lsusb
    You might need to install usbutils for the above command to work.
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    That's a lowercase L, not an i. Post the results back here for a little more help.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.
