I have a server that I hooked up an external USB drive. It was formatted in windows and has files on it already.

I'm new to Ubuntu so please be patient...

I have two questions:

1. Will Ubuntu see the drive since it was formatted in windows?


2. How do I mount this drive or rather, how do I know it's seen by Ubuntu?

Thanks!

I did fdisk -l and this is what I have but I don't see it. It's a 1tb drive:

this is an external USB hard drive not a thumb drive :)
