Linux – cannot find USB device to mount

redhat-enterprise-linuxusb

How can I find which /dev/? device to mount my USB hard drive on Red Hat 3 Taroon?  I've been Googling a lot and checked log files and still no clue. I'm trying my last chance with you experts,

# /sbin/fdisk -l

gives nothing about the USB drive.
