Hi,

Try to enter on /proc/bus/usb/devices and find the reference of ur usb perepheral.
If it's there;

create a directory on /mnt/usb
try to mount the perepheral (if it's a flash disk for example) : mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

good luck

[mohsin]

thnx man for replying but i enter proc and then usb then devices but only the folder named as 01, 02 , 03 , 04

and then file with this name i dont know the exetension
"

devices_please-use-sysfs-instead

also ... i forget to mention when i plug the usb then it ask that new hardware detected use it or not .. it ask this for 4 time and also there is 4 folders and i think there are 4 files in the usb .. so

any idea plz help thnx

[mohsin]

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

it results in

mount: none already mounted or /proc/bus/usb busy
mount: according to mtab, usbfs is already mounted on /proc/bus/usb

now i hope eror is clear to experts

mohsin, try the following in the command line:

su

enter the rootpassword, then

mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

that should work, for a fuller tutorial, have a look here;

[mohsin]

all in vain .. its another type i think file system is not matching ;9

[dylunio]

mohsin, what filesystem is the drive? is it FAT32 or ntfs?

try the two following options:

su

now enter the root password, then

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

if that doesn't work try:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

dylunio

[mohsin]

i'll try it . thnx for replying
