thanks scorp123
output as follows
linux:~ # ls -al /media
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 168 Apr 6 19:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 536 Apr 11 2005 ..
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 11 2005 cdrecorder
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 11 2005 dvd
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 11 2005 floppy
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 11 08:59 usb-21193:0:0:0p1
there is a folder /media but cant access it, have tried as root too in
case its a permission issue.
so ran last command as requested, output as follows
linux:/media # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hdb1 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr

/dev/hdb6 /data1 auto noauto,user
