Roger: What is the "mass storage device" you're referring to? Is this a hard drive, USB flash memory, floppy, zip drive? How is it attached to the system? It's hard to give you direction without knowing what you're referring to. Ultimately, Linux will have/need a file interface to this device in the /dev directory or some subdirectory of it. In some cases, you have to create this manually with a mknod statement, once you know some detail about it. Things like streaming devices (tape for example) can't be mounted in the normal sense. Other things like CD's and so on will be mounted as filesystems which can be accessed like any other native filesystems.

I have no problems in windows xp, but in the linux gui I cannot seem to figure out how to access the drive. I have been able to view it on the hardware viewer but that is all. I am a very novice linux user and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. also I have tried to mount via system tools but I cannot even see the disk on the list of mountable media. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
