Help with External USB drive on RH/Centos 5

[Scott Ehrlich]

Another issue to tackle - I have an external 1 TB drive (2 500GB on a 
RAID).   When I plug it into the server, it sees, via /var/log/messages, 
that a USB device was plugged in, but that's it.   fdisk -l doesn't see 
it.  dmesg doesn't do much, either.   It is a Western Digital My Book II 
device.

I want to format it and use it for external storage, but can't until I get 
to it.    What is the best way to get to the drive?

Thanks.

Scott
