I have a 200G external Maxtor drive. When I connect it and turn it on I get:

cat /proc/partitions gives:

So the new harddisk seems to be at /dev/sda1
However I have no /dev/sda1. If I do:
| Quote: |
acerlin linux # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
|
How can I create /dev/sda1?
Greetings and thanks, |

| Here's my setup. "sda" is not as good as a meaningful name, for which I chose "maxtor" (with partitions named e.g. "maxtorlinux"). |
