I am afraid my USB Disk Pro is a different kind of beast.

Under Win2k, it mounted its harddisk partition and I saw 128M of disk space.

Under Linux, however, mount /dev/sdb gave me the floppy drive, which is 
readonly.

I need to force LInux to mount the harddisk partition in /dev/sdb.

Is there other way of mounting a USB disk?
