Thank you very much for your replies people;
after using dmesg and disklabel i found that my external drive is "sd0i" and is a ntfs filesystem.

After some failed attempts i figured(and please correct me if i'm wrong) that i must use "mount_ntfs" not "mount".

So when i give "sudo mount_ntfs /dev/sd0i /home/sepuku/usb" why do i get an "invalid argument" error?


edit: Also the mount_ntfs man says that "it's not currently possible to create or remove files on NTFS filesystems."Is there a way to change the filesystem type so i can read and write without losing my data? :/
