Accessing external IDE drive via USB2 with IDE - USB adaptor cable.

[Dotan Cohen]

I need to access the data on an IDE hard drive. I have connected the
drive to power and to the computer via an IDE - USB adaptor cable,
however I do not see how I can mount this disk. My internal hard disk
is sda, with the fileystem on sda2 and /home on sda4. There are no
other hard disks connected to the machine. Here is what I get:

JMicron USA Technology Corp. JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo
