Hmmm, this might be similar to my issue. I have 2 USB keys, one mounts okay, 256MB SanDisk SD card in an adapter), the other (SanDisk Cruzer mini 256MB) gets funky, won't automatically mount. But when I manually mount it, the automount part finally works. Last week I posted a message (with no replies) about the Cruzer not being able to mount at all. The only change this time was I ran (in Windows) Scandisk.on the Cruzer. Still not quite right, though. And my box is a Precision 530... -- --- David Woyciesjes --- ITS Help Desk Support Technician --- Yale University Client Support --- 100 Church Street South, Suite 214 --- New Haven, CT 06519 --- (203) 785-3200
