The question is how do I get the system of WD to load onto Debian 2.6.26-2-686?
Any ideas as I am guessing either the version of Debian Lenny I have is
too old to be compatible?

The usb is mounted.
What is on the usb?
What do you want to run?

Kind regards

Nothing is on it as it is brand new and I want to see if it works with Debian Lenny, I have Ubuntu Lynx at home and will test it on that also.

The home directory of the WD doesn't load or boot up once it is connected to the desktop.

linux doesn't run autorun, only windows will
You need to browse the usb with a filebrowser.


Kind regards

I used the Nautilus File Manager which is default and found no USB device connected

Applications->System Tools->File Browser.

Not sure what do now.
