C:\Windows\system32>SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 C:\Windows\system32>devmgmt.msc Device manager comes up and shows two new devices, 1) Network adapters -> Linux USB RNDIS Ethernet Gadget 2) USB mass storage device ( the one you're wanting ) Also under Network Connections I have a Linux USB RNDIS Ethernet Gadget local area connection. When first plugged in since I have the drivers already installed the mass storage device comes up after about a minute. Clicked open as folder view and all the files like START.htm are present. The kernel version I am using on the eMMC is still 3.8.11( updated first week of release once before moving to debian on a uSD card ). This is Angstrom of course. Anyway, I have had plans for quite some time to move to a newer kernel on Debian, I just have not got around to it yet. I think I am using 3.8.11-bone25 ish with a rootfs from sometime around December( also custom install). One thing to note: When i first switched to Debian and started caring about RNDIS / mass storage device etc, I did have problems getting these to come up at first. The problem as I recall had to do with the Angstrom driver conflicting with or not acting like the Debian one. SO I had to boot int safe mode, and manually remove the drivers. Before booting back into Windows normally, then reinstalling the drivers fresh. However, I do not recall the exact steps I took to solve this issue . . .
