Hi,
Sorry I did not mentioned, I am using Red Hat 9.0. On the out put of dmesg I got all the following, in which we can see my Firewire is recognized no problems, I don't have a problem with my USB since my scanner and my sandisk card reader are working fine, I just did not know how to access my external HDD, to get to my ZIP or my floppy, I conveniently right click on the screen and then I get the option to get them visible on the screen and then I can just access them. It is not the same with this external disk.
But if this is covered I will dig it up.
cheers!
