Hi, With ext USB2 disks a reasonable price why is it that the FC3 installer/DiskDruid seems to fail to detect USB disks and hence you cannot install to a USB Disk. I have two machines with USB2 support, one an AMD64 machine The story is the same for both. I have a 160GB SmartDisk that I plan to use for Photos, video, backup etc but also for testing new releases of FC(4?) !!!! However, the FC3 installer at the Disk Druid stage has no idea that I have such a device !!!! During FC3 Install "Cont/Alt/F2" lets me run fdisk on the device (/dev/sda or /dev/sdb depending on which machine I'm working on) and hence partition it, mk... lets me make an ext3 file system on it, (/dev/sda1) mkswap lets me make swap on /dev/sda2 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/fred even lets me mount it. All this "during" installation !!!!! So all the drivers, etc must be installed and working! However when I go to the Disk Druid stage I only see my "main" disks (/dev/hda, /dev/sda for the SATA Athlon64 machine)? No USB in sight. The SmartDisk works perfectly as a normal data disk, either FAT32 or ext3, giving data transfer rates between 20 and 30 MB/s. Is there a way of forcing the installer to see the USB Disk ? Can this be added to the wish list? Is it my finger trouble? John
