You can see the list of available partitions using "fdisk -l /dev/sda". Then try mouting it by hand first (as root): mount /dev/sdaX /media/usbdrive. If that works, then edit your fstab (just faster by hand :)). Also check syslog for mount errors (check in real time using: tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal) Good luck Philippe De Ryck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
