No matter what I did or what I setup, RH9 just refused to mount the device. (The device what seen, and recognised and all that) Since we also have a combination of Win-XP & 2K boxes at the office, I decided to check it out on one of them. As usual, it worked (And also surprisingly it worked!! :-)). I checked the drive out, and sure enough, it was formatted for FAT. So for the hell of it I reformatted it on Win-XP. Then put it back on the RH9 box, and still no go!. I decided to try it on the Win2K box, and it read it ok too. So I then reformatted it on the Win-2K box, and then went back to the RH9 box, and low and behold it worked!!. I was seen to have 4 partitions, (It's a 1G USB Pen Drive) and the manual indicated that it would be the case, and I then followed the procedure to reconfigure it for a single partition and all worked very well. Put it back into the Win-XP/2K boxes and they still read it ok! Go figure!! I don't really know why, RH9 would not read the USB pen drive, but I managed to get it to work eventually. The only problem, here is, "What would someone do if they had no other resources to correct this sort of problem??" I hope that some of my ranting will help. Wolf
