Knoppix 4 not detecting flash drive

Xswitch · 01-24-2006, 11:28 AM

Hi all... I'm using knoppix 4.0. I inserted a usb flash drive and then booted the pc. Everything came up fine, but knoppix did not detect the usb flash drive. The flash drive can hold 1gig of data. I also have another flash drive that can hold 256mb of data. Neither one was detected by knoppix 4.0.

The PC is an HP Pavillion a556x. It says it uses high speed usb 2.0 and Firewire ports.

How do I get my regular usb flash drives to work?

thanks...

Have you tried inserting them while the system was running?

Yes... but it still does not detect them.

I too have the same problem. I am told by wikipedia and other sources that an icon will appear when the drive is inserted, yet, nothing happens when i insert the stick.

I am also having trouble with my second CD ROM drive not being detected.
