If it's automounted, it will be under /media (eg. /media/5683-A928).

If it's not automounted, you'd need to check the name of the raw block device (like /dev/hdb) and mount it using a
command like 'sudo mount /dev/hdb1 -o rw /media/disk'.  Hopefully it's automounted.  Automunting was invented for a
good reason.

You could probably also use 'pastebinit' from the command line if you install the pastebinit package.  That will copy
the file to a paste site and tell you the URL, which you can copy down and type in.
