# modprobre –r usb-storage
# modprobe usb-storage
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd (wait for few minutes)
# ls /mnt/hd
# umount /mnt/hd
If you can’t find the /dev/sda1, you must enable HAL and D-BUS before mounting the USB thumbdrive or external hard disk:-
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus
# /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.hald
# /etc/rc.d/rc.hald start
