Accessing a Mass storage device

[Roger Pregent]

It's a usb device much like an ipod actually it's basically an ipod for functionality sake, but it's made by RCA

Roger:

	What is the "mass storage device" you're referring to?  Is this a
hard drive, USB flash memory, floppy, zip drive?  How is it attached to the
system?  It's hard to give you direction without knowing what you're
referring to.

	Ultimately, Linux will have/need a file interface to this device in
the /dev directory or some subdirectory of it.  In some cases, you have to
create this manually with a mknod statement, once you know some detail about
it.  Things like streaming devices (tape for example) can't be mounted in
the normal sense.  Other things like CD's and so on will be mounted as
filesystems which can be accessed like any other native filesystems.

How can I achieve this? I have no problems in windows xp, but in the linux
gui I cannot seem to figure out how to access the drive. I have been able to
view it on the hardware viewer but that is all.

I am a very novice linux user and if anyone can help me it would be greatly
appreciated. 

also I have tried to mount via system tools but I cannot even see the disk
on the list of mountable media.
