For most external USB storage devices, they should be detected automatically and show up in /media on centos 4. cd to media and see if the usb hdd is in there. Even if it still is in there, you may need to mount it. You can do this by mount /media/name_here Don't forget to unmount when you're done.

cheers in advance

to you also. hope this works.

Only way I could get output from dmeg was this way!!!!

Have tried the centosplus kernel as I had assumed it might be closer to fed4 which is 2.6.12 I think, what about centosplus devel. kernel?

any further help would be gratefully recieved

thanks Johnny

Do you have anything in when using the command:

dmesg

after plugging in the drive?

How about the command:

lsusb

It might only work with the centosplus kernel:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/

(The CentOS plus kernel has items turned on that the upstream provider turned off in their enterprise kernel ... but which are on in the FC kernels)

Thanks for that but it still wont recognise it..have tried it on SUSE 9.1and 9.3 and Fedora 4 and not had any problems....tried it on a RHEL 4.1 machine and predictably it didn't recognise it either..don't really know enough about it but the other 3 use a different kernel or are "patched" differently??

I'll try a LUG or wait for CentOS 5!! lol

But thanks to all who gave me input much appreciated

Have you created mount point ? Use mkdir /media/usbkey and then see if it mounts. HTH -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
