here is the outcome.
k /dev/hdb: 10.2 GB, 10248118272 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1323 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1               1        1323    10001848+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

as you see i have the disk formated, i was reading the wiki last

so it can be mounted automatically am i on the right track.
