I just bought a external hard box (usb 2) with a 40GB hard drive. Can
someone point me in the right direction on how to mount it? I just
want to use it to transfer files between two computers Kanotix-WinXP.
The hard drive is already formatted with Fat32.

Thanks,

Wad

Kanotix  2005-4
Kernel 2.6.15.1

Most likely it's going to be 'mount /dev/sda1 /whatevermountpointyouchoose'.

*from a shell*
try;
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp orw,userid=Kanotix

*from a virtual terminal*
do;
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp orw,userid=Kanotix

replace 'Kanotix' with your Username

Kanotix should be same as any distro. 2 seconds with googling up
"linux mount usb drive" reveals this little guide:

Paying particular attention to : "Making Life Easier with fstab" and
you'll be a master in no time :-;
