Then try lsmod again to see if the module was installed. You should see something like this in /var/log/messages file: Feb 7 10:47:12 krpan kernel: [ 4503.411593] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... Feb 7 10:47:12 krpan kernel: [ 4503.411649] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage Feb 7 10:47:12 krpan kernel: [ 4503.411653] USB Mass Storage support registered. - check what's on USB port(s) lsusb you should get something like Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0c45:63fa Microdia Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub One of the devices should be your memory device. Try lsusb both with and without memory plugged in. Should see the difference. - if the device is visible on USB bus, then try to see if there's a recognizable partition on that device: fdisk -l or fdisk -l /dev/sdb fdisk -l /dev/sdc etc. if a partition is recognized then try to mount it (as root or use sudo) with mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbmem where sdb1 is the first partition on USB memory thingie and /mnt/usbmem is empty directory used as a mounting point. To create empty partition on USB memory usable in windog do the following mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 Be careful with mkfs as it can ruin your day. - if the memory was plugged in during bootup, it should be recognized which you can verify with dmesg | less look for USB related stuff and storage following the line with: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk I know from personal experience that some USB memory is simply not being recognized no matter what. That includes SD memory cards. Disconnecting and reconnecting helped sometimes. If you write to USB memory you either need to wait for a minute or two before you unplugg USB memory device or use command sync I was under impression that this is not needed in modern Unix systems, however, I learned that sometimes not all data written to that "drive" actually ended there. By the way, why not use network connection to copy files over?
