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.

Hello, No. My dmesg talks only about /dev/sda2 which is an
extended w95 partition which somehow contains the sda5 which
fails; alas I know nothing about these things.

Show us the output from the following command (as root):

fdisk -l /dev/sda
