Dmesg finds it: usb-storage: device scan complete usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18 scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 18 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: WDC WD20 Model: 00BB-16DWA0 Rev: 15.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 SCSI device sda: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB) sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB) sda: assuming drive cache: write through /dev/scsi/host5/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 < p5 > Attached scsi disk sda at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 As it stands it is formatted in ext2 and I would like to mount it manually or eventually at boot. Any attempts I have made at putting it in fstab have failed as hotplug hasn't found it at this stage. Any tips what I should do to make it a usable extra drive?? Mike </BODY> </HTML>
