Okay, that is something already. Can you write to it when you 'su' to root? Otherwise, when it is mounted, check how it is mounted in /etc/fstab. Perhaps that sheds some light on things. (I am not an expert on this, but that is what I would do as a next step.) Paul ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
