Try what I told first it should work. Log in as root then vi /etc/fstab then enter /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat defaults 777 0 0 save it byt hit esc then :wq this will save it then make a dirtory in /mnt called usb mkdir usb to use your usb hard disk mount by using the following command mount /mnt/usb then go to the hard disk using this command cd /mnt/usb when finished doing your work unmount the hard disk make sure you are not it the directory. umount /mnt/usb. If you have any problem just email me. Thanks
