What happens if you try to install to that drive?
The install disc recognizes that a usb hard drive is there, but doesn't want to do anything with it (i used the grep command to find that out, someone on the chats helped me with that)
I guess "recognizes that a usb hard drive is there" means the drive shows as e.g. /dev/sda? What do you mean when you say "doesn't want to do anything with it" ? Is it not available in the partitioner?

Ok, this is exactly what happens when i try to install. I go through to just after it does the system check then I hit ctrl+alt+f5 which brings me to a command prompt, i type lsmod | grep usb_storage which gives this reply: usb_storage 72512 0 usbhid 43616 0 usbcore 112640 5 usb_storage, uhci_hcd, usbhid, ehci_hcd ide_core 122380 4 piix, usb_storage, ide_disk, ide_cd scsi_mod 131304 6 st, sbp2, usb_storage, sg, sr_mod, sd_mod i then hit ctrl+alt+f7 to return to the installation screen, go to the partitioning, go to custom partitioning, but my usb device is not there as an option. Do i need a special driver or something? Ben __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
