Try this and see if it works (as root):
1. Make a moint point for it in /mnt:
$> mkdir /mnt/usb_device
2. Mount it (assuming your harddrive is all IDE, *not* SCSI)
$> mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb_device
if you have 1 SCSI harddrive, then you need to mount /dev/sdb1, or /dev/sdc1
ir you have 2 SCSI drive, etc..
3. See if you can get the file there
$> cd /mnt/usb_device
$> ls
The likely thing to happen if linux doesn't recognize it is step 2 to fail. If
that happens, please tell us the error message when you do step 2
