Have partition(s) been created? If not try fdisk /dev/sda
Verify that there are no partitions so you have the right disk, then
create at least one partition on the drive and set the partition type
according to how you intend to use it. After writing that and exiting
fdisk don't forget to create a filesystem on that partition, which would
be /dev/sda1. If there is already a partition, then try mounting
/dev/sda1 somewhere. It probably exists.
