just for the fun of it, try as root: mount -t vfat /dev/sd (hit the tab key a couple of times for a list of possibles) (assuming you see sda1 in the list, finish the command) mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/[MOUNTPOINT YOU CREATED YOURSELF] If that doesn't work try /dev/sda Let us know the results -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
