hid is the driver for USB (H)uman (I)nterface (D)evices like USB keyboards and USB mice

usb-storage is the driver for USB Mass Storage Devices like pendrives, external USB hard drives, external CD/DVD drives, flash card readers, digital cameras, etc

usb-uhci is the driver for the UHCI type USB controller cards.  It is the driver for either your motherboard USB ports or a USB add-on card.

but how do you mount a USB hard drive? Do I have to change something in fstab?
On my desktop with kanotix(debian) it automounts on /mnt/sda1.

To mount it in DSL, you do the following:

Open the emelfm file manager.

Navigate to the /mnt directory

Right-Click on the "sda1" directory and choose "Mount" from the context menu.

The same here, both centrino laptops unable to see /dev/sda1  :does not exist, tried 1.2 and 1.5 and wanted to install frugal to USB boot key, than tried from Ubuntu per hand,

Copied the knoppix and /boot to /mnt/sda1

But i stuck on

grub-install /dev/sda1  

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         937      119935   83  Linux
risko@ubuntux:/mnt/staging/boot/isolinux$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
