Well use google and find out i was giving you a pointer that it should work which means that it should work keep trying. And being a n00b does not give you a good reason to be lazy. This forum is here to help when ur stuck not to write tutorials on how you can do things.

A usb thumb drive will be detected as a scsi disk i beleive you need devfs in the kernel aswell as USB support and maybe scsi(Not sure about this?).

There plenty of pointers which i found in 2secs on google

WoW... I'm not beeing lazy... If you read above... I did search google for drivers or any info... I did not come up with anything relating to that device and linux... That is why I began with

Thanks Chris H... will try that once me get home tonight. :rock:

Sorry about the confusion Giro... I thought you where flaming because I had mentioned searching in the first post. The problem is I did not search apropriately. I just tried usgin 'MicroVaul + USM128US' but not a more general search, ie. 'thumb drive etc'. I guess I should have thought of doing a more general search on thumb drives and not just a specific search for the exact model thumb drive I have...

:banghead:

Just a few tips with googling for Linux stuff: don't necessarily look for the word "driver." And if at first you don't succeed, drop the model name/number/manufacturer out and revert to generic terms (usb thumbdrive).
