Hi JP, I faced the same problem with my USB cardreader. First of all you have to find out if the kernel has seen the USB HD. To do this you can plug in the HD, and run dmesg after a few seconds. This will tell you if the kernel has detected the HD, and if it's sda, sdb sdc etc.
Next you should do a search on google on mknod /dev/sda. Then it's possible to create the device nodes manually so you can actually do something with the HD. Hope this helps, Cedric On Saturday 31 December 2005 17:29, Jean-Philippe Mengual wrote: > Hi everybody, > I've just be offered a FREECOM CLASSIC MOBILE 2.5" HARD DRIVE, > external driver via USB.
