-Go to a command prompt
-#su root
-type password
-#insmod usb-storage
-#mkdir /mnt/flash
-#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
Look in /mnt/flash and see if the files are there. If so, you can add a line to /etc/fstab to make the drive automount and a link in "removable devices" to make it seem just like a floppy drive.

Ok, I am still having problems so I hope someone can help me out here. I had a look in:
|/proc/bus/usb/devices|
and there is nothing in there, even after plugging in the device. This tells me that the kernel is not recognizing the device right?? If so, how do I rectify this?? This device is SUPPOSED to be supported under Linux so I just need a nudge in the right direction.

PS, since I've had no joy here, I'll cc it to the cooker list too. Thanks for the help all.|
