All usb drives show up as SCSI devices. SCSI hard drives show up as /dev/sdXN and IDE hard disks show up as /dev/hdXN. So, your iRiver is /dev/sda1. To use this device, you make a mount point. A mount point is basically a 'directory' where you want your device to show up in the / (the root file system). So, mkdir /mnt/iriver mount /dev/sd1 /mnt/iriver cd /mnt/iriver ls (you should see your files here!) Adding it to your /etc/fstab is another step. you may want to 'man fstab' and 'man mount' for more info. > > i'm assuming that this is more important than the > lspci listing, because this shows the hardware works > fine... > > the fdisk -l thing returns the drive that works along > with: > > Disk /dev/hdd: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id > System > /dev/hdd1 2 9964 80027797+ f > W95 Ext'd (LBA) > /dev/hdd5 2 9964 80027766 b > W95 FAT32 > > i can't, however, mount /dev/hdd5, and when i added it > to fstab, it griped about mount points (i put in o> /mnt/hdd5 as the mount point, should it be different?) From the above comment, /dev/hdd5 is the disk for your mp3's. So, mkdir /mnt/mp3 mount /dev/hdd5 /mnt/mp3 cd /mnt/mp3 ls (you should see your files!) making this perminant by adding it to /etc/fstab. -Kev
