Check out this link, it goes into detail about installing and "mounting" a drive. Mounting is required before Linux (in this case Ubuntu) can use it.

I can't remember if "lshw" comes with Ubuntu by default, but if it isn't you can download and install the lshw package and it will show you a list of your hardware.
In regards to drivers, I know of a couple other people here more experienced with Linux, including Ubuntu that would be able to help you better.
Note: Something interesting, you posted at 3:56 (my local time) and I posted at 6:53 (my time as well). Numbers are exactly opposite each other
