well, i hate to be a bitch but problems like mounting a flash drive simply do not appear in Windows. otherwise i agree with gordon. i love linux, but certainly not for the way it handles my usb key.

Hi Julie,

thanks for that, don’t you just love Linux? Someone has usually solved the problem for you.

Best Regards

You can also put the lines into /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,rw 0 0

Then you can do:

mount /usb

instead of the long line like above.

You can get rid of the modprobe line by doing this:

Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel and make sure

INITRD_MODULES=”usb-storage OTHER MODULES”

Note, OTHER MODULES means that there are going to be other modules, you don’t ever actually type OTHER MODULES there.
