Other Help Topics :: External usb hard drive

I have two 300 gb usb external hdd's. They were working find in windows xp. Turn off the computer. Came back and xp no longer sees them.

I have one 200 gb usb hdd that still works.

I would like to see if I can save,recover, etc. my files I have on them so I can use them again on xp.

OK ...... how do I get DSL to see the drive?

Using DSL on cd.

Toshiba laptop.

Everything works great so far.

Thanks, Ron

Are they seen in the mount app? In the lower right corner, click on the device name (probably fd0 or cdrom0) until you see something beginning with sd. That's the external hd. Click on the red button that says "umounted". If it turns green, that hd is now mounted and you can copy files.

Ok I was able to mount two different drives. One a mini WD 80 gbz and my Dazzel card reader. It did not see my Mad Dog usb hdd. That is what I want to be able to get my files from.
After I mount the drive, what do I need to do to open it etc.

Any idea why it won't see my Mad Dog drive with the good hdd in it?
Thanks, Ron

Double post. SORRY???

Click on emelfm and browse either side into /mnt/sd* sd* being the drive you mounted
