pen drive not reconise after reinstall????

Peterpan · 09-25-2004, 03:14 AM

I just reinstall Mandrake 10.0 Power Pack on my Compaq Presario 2100 series P4 2.4 Ghz w/512 Ram and now I cannot find my USB pen Drive Before it use to auto mount. When I plug it in I had a Icon on my desktop now noting not into the /mnt directory or else where as much as I can see.

Same with my PCMCIA card I have no idea where to find here..

Your help is more then welcome.
Thanks

Hi Peterpan,
You can make an entry in your fstab that will automount the pen drive. Check in your Hardware Browser after plugging the drive - it'll show your pen drive in the hard disks section - usually it'll be /dev/sda or something like that.
You can create a directory in mnt/ where you would want to mount your pen drive.
Hope that helps.

here is the info I gt from the hardware browser

Bus: SCSI
Location on the bus: 0:0:0
Channel: 0

New devfs device: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
Old device file: /dev/sda

What should I write into the fstab?
