USB HDD

I've run into a bit of a problem. My windows crashed (gasp) and I'm using Knoppix to recover some of the other stuff from the hard drive. I've got an external USB HDD that was bought after-the-fact, and I want to move the recovered data onto that drive. I know that the system recognizes the external drive - I found that out using the Info Center. But here's where the problem is. When I view the computer through Konqueror, the ext HDD doesn't show up, and therefore I can't figure out how to move the data. If anyone would be willing to share a solution, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm not sure if I undestood your problem but here is a hint.
Go to: Right Click in Desktop->Costumize Dektop->Behavior->Device Icons
Then check the "Show device icons" chekbox and whatever devices you want (probably "Mounted hard disc partition").

You have probably tryed to acess the HDD through Konqueror->Navigation Panel (F9)->Services Tab->Devices so try to (re)mount the external harddrive. If I am not mistaken the device is /dev/sda1. So it would be something like
[code:1]mkdir <somedir> ; mount -t auto /dev/sda1 <created dir>[/code:1]
