How to mount Removable Storage in Fedora using Terminal

Do
   $sudo -i
Then do
   #cat /proc/partitions
or 
   # fdisk -l | grep -i ntfs
 you will get like this
/dev/sda1   *        2048      206847      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2          206848   211134463   105463808    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda5       211136512   422582271   105722880    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda6       422584320  1262489599   419952640    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda7      1368815616  1465143295    48163840    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT


Now plug in the device and do "# fdisk -l | grep -i ntfs" again
you will get an output like this :

/dev/sda1   *        2048      206847      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2          206848   211134463   105463808    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda5       211136512   422582271   105722880    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda6       422584320  1262489599   419952640    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda7      1368815616  1465143295    48163840    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdc1   *          63   488392127   244196032+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

you will see a new entry at bottom and that is your removal disk 

now run

   #mount /dev/sdc1  /mnt

where sdc1 is my device and /mnt is the folder I need to mount to
