I can't use my Creative MUVO on Linux;
I tried the command
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/m1 -t msdos -o rw
This does not work when I connect my muvo on my USB connector, but this works (withouth the -t msdos) with my camera.

the mount command give me the following command :
mount : /dev/sda1 n'est pas un périphérique de bloc valide.

and dmesg give me the following messages :
SCSI device sdb: 256001 512-byte hdwr sectors (131 MB)
sdb: Write Protect is off
sdb: sdb1
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 1399
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.

Do anybody have an idea ?

Thks,

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/m1 try this one and here is my entry for my muvo
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 auto noauto,user,owner 0 0

This does not work at all.
mount : /dev/sda1 n'est pas un périphérique de bloc valide.

Try mounting /dev/sdb1

sdb1 appears to be 131MB (the size of a muvo)

sda1 shows up as being a gig.

ok...if i could get some thoughts or suggestions on this, i would appreciate it mucho. I have the creative nomad muvo 128. I can get redhat to see it as a drive on sdb1, and mount it, and i can copy files from it, but can't write to or delete any file. it is like it's running in read-only mode. the same thing happens with my digital camera, which also acted as an external harddrive on windows. is there something fairly obvious that i am over looking to be able to write to these drives? thanks.

i have a muvo 64 ( ) mb version myself, i had troubles even loading it up under redhat but it worked perfectly under mandrake 9.1

alright...got it all working, and figured i'd share and make sure it's correct, because it acts a little strange. The line in fstab reads:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/muvo auto noauto,rw,user,sync 0 0

i have an icon on my desktop (kde) for a harddrive that mounts /dev/sda1. when i double click, it says only root can mount, but if i right click and hit mount, it does so. from there i can read from/write to/delete anything, but before removing the muvo, i have to hit unmount from the rightclick menu. if not, no changes are made on the drive. thanks for the help everyone.

btw, be sure not to delete the settings.dat file on the mp3 player
i cant see it in windows, in linux i could delete it if i wanted to

lol...good call. i'm guessing that would make those little things like "play" and "volume" not work

whoops... i just formatted the whole mp3 player (in linux) but now it stopped working...
ill see if i can fix it

***edit***
i fixed it (note that i also deleted the settings file, but did have a backup of it).
here's my solution to the prob:
after i formatted (mkfs -t vfat) the mp3 player, i could place files on it etc but wouldnt play.
it would still refuse to play after i restored the settings.dat file
the only solution i got so far is: go to another comp which has windows installed, install the muvo drivers and then use media file recovery :S
