Simon Thornton solved this for me. The problem seems to occur because the manufacturers do not create correct partion tables on some flash drives. Microsoft operating systems seem to ignore faulty flash drive partition tables. Simon's advice (which worked for me) was to delete the existing partitions and re-format the drive using fdisk. I have also noticed on two separate machines running SuSE 9.1 that transferring large amounts of data from flash drives or zip disks will cause the machines to hang. I've had to abandon using removable magnetic media with my SuSE 9.1 machines. Regards, Steve On Fri, 4 Jun 2004 04:31 am, Ken Hughes wrote:
I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I simply cannot get my USB flash drive to work on 9.1 Pro. If I plug it in, the following directories are created:
