How do I enable USB on Fedora Core 3 as Virtual Machine Guest
I am new to Linux and was instructed to start this as a new question. I cannot enable the USB for the Fedora system. My host system is Vista and I ran VMWARE server 1.0.4. The guest system is Fedora core 3 (sorry that I have to use Fedora Core 3 because of application software limitation). I followed the below instructions.
Try using /dev/sda1 to access the drive.
Login as root then:
Create a directory to use as a mount point
mkdir /mnt/usb
Mount the drive
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb[/quote]
I got the following error messages:
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/usb busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /boot
Inside mtab file:
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
Inside blkid.tab file:
<device DEVNO="0x081" TIME="1197081411" LABEL="/boot" UUID='5de2ca00-e6a9-4f16-a7a4-d3625b126208" SEC_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2">/dev/sda1</device>
Fdisk -l shows that
/dev/sda has a total 10.7GB space, 1305 cylinders
/dev/sda1 is Boot and start from Cylinder 1 and ends at 13. ID=83, System=Linux
/dev/sda2 starts from 14 and ends at 1305. ID=8e. System=Linux LVM
Any suggestion?
