You likely need to format the drive, in addition to creating the partition, before a letter is assigned.  Take a look under Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management and see if it is there.  You can format the drive using that tool as well.

Hi,

 
I do this
 
1) # create an 8MB USB file
dd bs=1M count=8 if=/dev/zero of=/opt/usbfile
 
2) # run fdisk to set S=8,H=16,C=128 and then create and write an 8MB partation to the /opt/usbfile created by DD

3) #start USB Gadget
modprobe g_file_storage file=/opt/usbfile

4) Plug board in to WindowsXP host. I can see the USB Mass storage device appear in the USB section of device manager.  I can see the linux file-stor gadget usb device appear under DiskDrives in  device manager.


Cant seem to find it anywhere else. No drive letter assignment
 
Thanks for any advice

Which command arguments are you using to install the module of file
