well, if it's anything like a zip drive (just one example) it must have a /dev/sda3 partition formatted to vfat to be recognized by winblows. why the third partition? who knows... maybe to signify a removable media. the best is format it from windows and use whatever it did there from linux. in any case, it has to be a vfat partition, and not the entire sda itself. good luck! -- No rocket scientist Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
