so sorry to hear about that, Rosemary ...
i was so sure it would work,
i never heard of anyone getting problems
for pluging in a usb drive ...
otherwise i would have told you to make a backup first.
Hey - not your fault.
do you also think that maybe your version of mandrake
has some underlying problems ?
ALSA is the sound server, right ?
For some reason it hung there too when a I attempted to install a USB
mouse a few weeks ago.
what if you installed a fresh version of mandrake ?
i often needed to do that, with any operating system i had.
Maybe - will wait and see. Guess this is where linux fixability is put
to the test! Only problem is the operator! :-)

Card reader arrived today so thought I would
try it out! Big mistake!
I read instructions on a board and following that took a look using
HardDrake - don't know if this is it or not. Instructions said to look
at hda. It says "old device file: /dev/hda" and just below " New
devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc".
That's when I should have posted! Thought I would plug it in and see
if it would auto detect on reboot, but it hung at "starting ALSA". So
unplugged it and rebooted without it, but still hung at ALSA. So here
I am in windows begging for help to get mandrake going again.
Frank I don't where I'm at with your requests because I can't get to my
emails in mandrake!
Thanks in advance
Rosemary
