I have 3 external scsi hard drives and 1 external firewire hard drive, all used for storage. The scsi card and firewire card are listed in hardware, but the drives don't show. I need help to mount them or whatever you call it so that they show and I can use them.

I don't use Firewire so no help there. For SCSI:
0. Login as root. 1. Open a console window if in X session. 2. Type "fdisk -l" 3. If you see drives listed such as /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc Then man fdisk man mke2fs man mount see /etc/fstab else You have a hardware problem.
Good luck.

Where do you expect the drives to be shown?
If you run "cat /proc/scsi/scsi", do you see the SCSI drives listed? If not, then you have cabeling (termination) problem, maybe. If listed, then check the output of "fdisk -l". The SCSI drives are /dev/sdX, counted by their SCSI ID. With the data seen running fdisk listening the partitions you should be able to mount specific partitions.
Let's take you have one ext2 partition being /dev/sdc1. You may create for that a mountpoint with "mkdir /mnt/scsi3_1". To mount then run "mount -t ext2 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/scsi3_1". Further information in "man mount" and "man fstab".
