This looks pretty standard and shows the sda1 partition available for mounting. Have you tried to manually mount the device? You could do something like (as root): su (supply root's password) md /media/usb-stick mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb-stick ll /media/usb-stick Report any errors. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
