usb flash drive won't mount

[shelmed]

Hi

I have just begun to use Puppy 2.15 CE final live CD on my old Toshiba laptop with a USB 1.10 port. I have tried plugging in 3 different flash drives and none of them have been recognised.

I have used the drive mounter and USB viewer - pressed the refresh buttons and still nothing

When entering
# probedisk or # fdisk -l
only the cdrom and HD are recognised.

Output of:
# lsmod | grep hci
ohci_hcd 20564 0
usbcore 126116 3 usb_storage,ohci_hcd

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

1. Plug-in ur USB stick

2. Do lsusb to check, if ur USB is detected.

3. Once it is shown, then do

mkdir /mnt/usb; mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

This shud do.

Plug-in ur USB stick

Did:
lsusb to check, if ur USB is detected.

and output said: command not found

Did :
[B]mkdir /mnt/usb; mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb[a/B]

and output said: No such device or address

Any other ideas?

Does /sbin/lsusb work?
