(It may be mounted already, and that file contains a list of all the mounted filesystems). 1. Type harddrake2 as root with the USB drive plugged in and switched on; this will detect all the hardware again and (hopefully) display what the drive is called in the window that pops up. 2. If that doesn't find it, unless anyone else has any ideas probably the best solution is to download [eventually] and install 9.0. There was a lot of trouble in RC2 and RC3 with USB and pluggable devices; my external USB CD-RW was most shaky in those builds. It's fine now. Alastair
