usb hard drive permission

[whammoed]

I have set up a usb hard drive
I can mount it with the user i created but it will not let me see the drive...says i don't have permission. can only see it as root, what can i do to be able to access it as my user?

thanks

Add a line in fstab for your drive and with user in your options, and it will be "mountable" by users.
