USB devices and partitions are two different animals. What you sent us is the output of dmesg(8) on your machine. It looks like the USB drive is seen by the system as device sd5. But you don't have to guess. Simply disconnect the USB drive from the machine, log in as root and plug the USB device again. You should see a message that tells you which logical device represents the physical USB drive. Suppose it's sd5. This is only a device, not a partition. We need to know the name of the partition(s) that hold the data (there may be more than one). Log in as root and do the following: # mkdir /mnt/usbpro # cd /mnt/usbpro You didn't tell us what kind of partitions are on the USB drive, my suspicion is that they are MS-DOS / FAT partitions, but we don't have to guess, we can ask disklabel(8) for help: # disklabel sd5 You should see a list of partitions on the drive. You can ignore c:, it is a special partition that represents the whole drive. My guess is that you will see a single i: partition. To read from and write to that partition you need to mount it. # mount -t msdos /dev/sd5i /mnt/usbpro Check if all went fine with: # ls /mnt/usbpro If you see files on the drive, you have successfully mounted it on your system. You can use it as an ordinary drive. Beware! You cannot just unplug the drive. If you want to disconnect it, type: # umount /mnt/usbpro Only disconnect the drive after unmounting *all* partitions that you may have mounted on your system. If you forget to do that, the system may become confused and you my loose your data. Hope the above helps you a little. -- Jacek Artymiak http://devGuide.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/devguide Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=50168432081
