It probably HAS been seen but you haven't mounted it.
Check your /var/log/messages when you attach the drive.
By the way, a lot of this USB stuff has been covered repeatedly - the
archives may also give you the info you need.
Make sure that you are running the current kernel
(you did not tell us what "uname -r; uname -a" returns.)
Tell us what "lsusb" returns.
A number of USB issues have been addressed post FC2 release -- pure stock
FC2 without updates had some issues.
