# Hard-drive installation

To install the hard drive you have to run the following command in powershell:

```

search for the first column your device. Before mounting the device, make sure that you have wsl2 in your enviroment:

This will mount the device. Run your linux distro on wsl and then check the device running:

```

lsblk

```

When you have found the device, use the **mount** command in the /mnt folder.
