Hi there.I'm a newbie....new to the Linux world,I just recently installed Red hat on my laptop yesterday....HP Dv5000 series.I'm trying to mount my flash drive on the Linux environment....I use the following command on the root console; # mount /dev/sda -t auto /mnt/flash I've creat the directory /mnt/flash But the console gives me a prompt saying that it doesn't recognise the file system of the flash drive which in this case is fat16...Could someone pls give me a detailed explanation as to how i can resolve this. Also,how can I make my Linux OS see my Windows XP Home (SP2) partition?Thanks.

Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 05:46:16 am I'm trying to mount my flash drive on the Linux environment.... Use this command to mount it: Code: mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash (Write instead of sda your flash drive name, this is sda1 on my system.) Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 05:46:16 am Also,how can I make my Linux OS see my Windows XP Home (SP2) partition? Type this command: Code: fstab -l Then you will see the partitions. The next step is to mount it as your flash drive. Otherwise, look at this HOWTO, you will find there a lot of useful information: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_MS_Windows_partitions_(FAT,NTFS)

Use the cp command. For more information type this: man cp. But I suggest to use the Midnigh Commander, type mc to the command line. You can copy files easier with this program.

I was able to mount the flash drive,but I can't see the files....when I used the command you gave me earlier.....mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash.....it just mounted and then took me to the next prompt...How do I view the contents of the flash drive and then how do I copy individual files?Say I have a file called cat in my flash drive and I've created a directory called flash using mkdir flash,how do I copy cat from my flash drive to the directory called flash that I created....I created a directory called mozilla,anytime I try to write on it,it tells me that it cannot create file because the directory is not writtable.How can I make the directory writtable.I'm so sorry for all the questions.I'm a newbie.I just installed linux on a partition in my laptop yesterday...using it for the first time.Thank you.

Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 07:18:56 am How do I view the contents of the flash drive and then how do I copy individual files? I suggested to use mc. Try it! Or if you want to use the command line, use the ls command to list the files, but with mc it is easier. Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 07:22:54 am How can I unmount the flash?I use the following command.....unmount /mnt/sda and it tells me that the command it unrecognisable? Not unmount, just umount.

Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 08:57:16 am I wanna copy the folder called Linux to this new directory called flash First of all log out from root. It isn't secure. To copy the Linux folder use this: Code: cp /mnt/flash/Linux ./flash The sintax is: Code: cp <what> <where> Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 08:57:16 am Also how do I carry out installations of files that end with extension .tgz Uncompress the file: Code: tar -xvzf package.tgz Then read the README file which contains the installation instructions, but most often you have to use these commands: Code: ./configure make sudo make install Quote from: Dukelord on November 26, 2006, 08:57:16 am Also how do I unmount my flash...you didn't reply before... I answered your question. Look at my last post.
