How to Mount a USB Hard Drive With Knoppix The Linux operating system has come a long way in user-friendliness and usability since its inception. It has become more of a consumer operating system than a tool for the technologically curious. However, occasionally under Linux, users can experience a failure in the systems designed to automate tasks, like the mounting of hard drives or the muting of speakers when headphones are plugged in. This is typically due to an improper configuration or, in the case of a Knoppix Live CD, because only so many options can be crammed into one live environment. This is when a quick fix from the Linux terminal is necessary. Instructions 1 Right-click the partition for your USB hard drive on the Knoppix desktop and click "Mount." If that fails, or if no partition exists, open a terminal window. 2 Type "lsusb" to confirm your USB hard drive is connected. If you do not see it listed, the USB ports may be nonfunctional, and you should try plugging your hard drive into another pair until you see your USB hard drive on lsusb. 3.Type "fdisk -l" to list your hard disks, their partitions and all of their file system types. Remember the name of your USB hard drive listed here. It will be something like /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1. 4 Type "mount harddrive /mnt" where harddrive is your USB hard drive's specific device name and partition number. 5 Type "cd /mnt" and press "Enter" to go to your USB hard drive, then type "ls -la" and press "Enter" to view the files. You can also open the file manager and navigate through the directory structure to /mnt to see the files from the desktop GUI. Tips & Warnings If lsusb displays nothing, try "lsmod | grep usb" to see the connected USB devices. One should read usb-storage, or have a similar name, for your USB hard drive. The device name /dev/sda1 refers to the actual hard disk device known as sda and its first partition. For example, /dev/sdb2 would refer to the second partition of sdb, or second hard disk. Mounting your USB hard drive to /mnt is common practice, but you can mount it wherever is convenient. Some people like to make specific folders for their mounts, such as /mnt/usbhd or otherwise. Also, depending on your /etc/fstab file, you may need to specify the file system type with your mount command with the "-t" option. Common options are "-t vfat" (Windows partitions) or "-t fat32" (older Windows partitions).
