external HDD

Hello All, I'd like to use this 160 Gb iomega usb HDD but I can't
mount it. I have read a lot of suggestions but nothing works. I
think this is device /dev/sda5 and it is an ext2 partition but
whatever I put into fstab I get an error message of type "wrong
fs..." or "no medium found". Any suggestions gratefully
received.
