Plug in your hard disk and do
root@vuduo ~ # ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda1
root@vuduo ~ #
If you see sda1, your disk is being recognised.
The mount command will show you if it has been mounted. eg:
root@vuduo ~ # mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /media/hdd type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/mtdblock2 on /boot type jffs2 (ro)
tmpfs on /var type tmpfs (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/usb type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
root@vuduo ~ #
NB I have an internal HDD (/dev/sda1) and an external thumb drive (/dev/sdb1)
Also, the disk has to be formatted as a unix drive (ext3) not DOS
