Another question: I am using vmware on windowsXP and my guest OS is Fedora 9,i am unable to see my Windows partitions through #fdisk -l command. Also i cannot copy files from Xp to Fedora through Vmware interface.Always shuffling my USB between these OS's for file transfer. Please answer these questions.

You need to add the device to your /etc/fstab. To do this as root edit the fstab and add the line: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto rw 0 0 An USB device does not always enumerate to the same drive number. In other words if you ad another USB drive, the one you are using could start showing up as /dev/sdc1. A solution to this is to find the block id (UUID) of the drive and use that in the fstab file to identify the drive to mount. To find the UUID # blkid /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: UUID="32817230-8866-4ef1-be25-294cec9c6067" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" Then add it to your fstab: /dev/disk/by-uuid/32817230-8866-4ef1-be25-294cec9c6067 /mnt/usb auto rw 0 0

What is the file system type on the usb drive? fat, fat3, ntfs, ext2, ext3...? Depending upon the type, most current linux distributions will automatically mount them, unless it is an ntfs partition.

Thanks .....
