Trying to understand USB HD configuration

[Todd Cary <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to understand how my USB drive is setup in Centos 5.5 
-- especially since I made a mistake of backing up to it when it 
was not turned on.

The USB drive is accessed as /media/disk.  However, when I did a 
backup WITHOUT the drive turned on, the data was put into the 
directory, /media/disk.

Now, when I turn on the USB drive (it is self-mounted in 5.5), 
the USB drive has been assigned "disk-1" -- understood.  What I 
am missing is the "table" that contains the information pointing 
to USB drive, disk-1.  I would like to reset the table so that 
"disk" is the USB drive and delete the data that is now on my 
main drive.

Hopefully I have explained the situation properly.
