(nevermind) Drive shows up in installer but not from Thunar

Hopefully the guys at micro center can fix this.

I have a 250G hard drive which I want to install #! on. It shows up in the graphical installer.

However, I can't back up anything on it because I can't get it to mount. There's not a trace of it in blkid:

crunchbang@crunchbang:~$ blkid
/dev/sr0: LABEL="CrunchBang Live" TYPE="iso9660" 
/dev/sdb5: LABEL="portable 500g drive" UUID="7E3C295B3C291027" TYPE="ntfs" 

crunchbang@crunchbang:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="ddec09b4-a24e-445d-9900-ecd89174f593" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sda5: UUID="e24ab7e5-06a6-4a39-beea-a3f7b291d926" TYPE="swap" 
/dev/sr0: LABEL="CrunchBang Live" TYPE="iso9660" 
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" 
/dev/sdb5: LABEL="portable 500g drive" UUID="7E3C295B3C291027" TYPE="ntfs" 

(that 500g drive is a different one)

Any pointers?

Does:

sudo blkid -o list -c /dev/null

not identify the uuid either?

Plug the drive in, then:

dmesg | tail

/dev/sda1      ext4               (not mounted)      ddec09b4-a24e-445d-9900-ecd89174f593
/dev/sda5      swap               (not mounted)      e24ab7e5-06a6-4a39-beea-a3f7b291d926
/dev/sr0       iso9660  CrunchBang Live /live/image  
/dev/loop0     squashfs           (in use)           
/dev/sdb5      ntfs     portable 500g drive (not mounted) 7E3C295B3C291027

dmesg gives me

composite sync not supported
composite sync not supported
composite sync not supported
composite sync not supported

whenever I plug it in.

I'm not sure if it applies, but is it formatted?

eh, I'm not really sure, it's at micro center now. I think it might have been broken/unformatted/sad somehow.
