I Dont use the harddisk for my media (all on the NAS) but if i need to put some files on it i use, winscp (windows user) SSH into the box.

edit:
i see now you have the usb-version and you cant see the internal HD.
If i'm correct you have to mount it on startup, so you will be able to see it in xbmc. I dont know where i found it again but i did a search on "mounting internal HD appleTV"



Found it:
Presuming that you want the internal drive mounted read/write you can create a mount point and add the following to /etc/rc.local to have that drive mounted at startup.
(not sure this is a good idea though since from what I've read Linux support for journaled hfsplus isn't so good at the moment. You can mount it read only (safer) by removing the fsck.hfsplus line)

Code:

sudo mkdir /media/atvmedia

Add to /etc/rc.local (right before the 'exit 0')

Code:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local
fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda4
mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda4 /media/atvmedia
