I'm going to assume that you are using a default install of Qubes: your sys-usb is based on Fedora-23, and the qube you want to use the drive in is also based on the same template. Please correct me if this isn't correct. There's no such thing as a "windows USB drive". I assume you mean a drive that you used on Windows. You may or may not have formatted the drive: I don't know because you haven't told us. Drives for use on Windows can be formatted using various filesystems: FAT32, NTFS , EXFAT among them. I don't know what you have. Perhaps you don't know. We can find out. You say you know to attach the drive to a qube. Open a terminal in the target qube,and attach the USB drive. Then type 'dmesg' (without the quotes) You should see lots of stuff in the terminal, ending with some lines that say something like "blkfront: xvdi .". If you don't see this then the drive hasn't been attached to the qube. The "xvdi" bit shows the device name that's been allocated to the USB. Now type in "sudo cfdisk /dev/xvdi"(Or whatever device name you have) This will show you the partitions on the USB stick and how they are formatted. Take note. Quit from cfdisk. Open nautilus in the target qube, and look under "Other Locations" You should see the drives from the USB stick there. FAT32 partitions should just load in nautilus out of the box. So should NTFS partitions. If you have EXFAT format, then as Jean-Philippe has said, you will need to install extra packages in the template. If you need help with this, please ask. If you don't see ANY device or Id Type in cfdisk, then it's possible your drive is encrypted and you didn't realise(because it "just worked" under Windows. That's a separate issue but also solvable. So try this and report back what you find. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Ok, did that. What I get is Computer TI10673200G /dev/sda4 Networks Windows Network When I left click TI106(...) I get nothing. When I right click, the menu says open, open in a new tab, open in a new window, and Mount. Nothing happened. What should I try now? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I right clicked (Q manager) work vm left clicked attached block devices. Opened files (work vm) and this time I couldn't even find the drive.
