That is quite strange. Did you try mounting it and specifying the filesystem type? Something like 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /pen' may yield better results? You may also want to try fat and msdos as filesystem types. Also, make sure that the filesystems, msdos, fat and vfat are compiled into the kernel or loaded as modules. You can see a complete list of the file systems your kernel can handle by running 'cat /proc/filesystems'. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
