Not so. The group is set to "Users" right enough, but the perms are 755... Is there something i'm doing wrong? I'm still using kernel 2.4.18 as I was having probs getting 2.4.21 to work right, but I know the USB support is meant to be better in 2.4.21... Also the drive does not have the USB conformance logo, so maybe thats the problem? Fish, M
