USB Access

[Thoughts]

I've been trying to get my usb working so that i may get my flash drive on and be able to access date which is saved on to it but unfortunately i haven't been able to. I used knoppix for sometime and with knoppix it seemed that i was able to access my usb. I believe knoppix used something called Hot Plug. Have any of you used it before or heard of it ? Is there anything else that would allow me access to my usb drive ?

:p
thanks

Try this.

Plugin your usb flash drive.
As root(su) make an empty directory: mkdir /mnt/usb
run this: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

Your usb disk should be mounted in /mnt/usb

thanks for the reply dude but it doesn't seem to work

[root@localhost normal1]# mount /dev/sda1/mnt/usb
mount: can't find /dev/sda1/mnt/usb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

maybe its a proablem on my side
