Jun 1, 2013 at 15:33 comment added ChangMing btw i just mounted a Sony 500Gb external drive which has three partitions but my system is showing it as a whole without any partitions and the files are accessible from any partition.this maybe due to unix/linux directory structure.
Jun 1, 2013 at 15:29 comment added ChangMing @Mat yes considering the fact that unix systems don't consider partitons the way as windows system do.this maybe the case the OP is having difficulties.If this is the condition than the OP should try to format the drive in one partition and see if the system detects it correct.also try to use different ports.
Jun 1, 2013 at 14:44 comment added Mat Nice explanation about the process - one thing missing though: if the drive is partitioned (this is quite common), then it's not the device itself but one of the partitions that needs to be mounted. Looks like the OP is having difficulties that could simply be related to that.
