Posts: 31
Hello all,
I’m running mepis 3.1.1 and XP pro on my PC.
My pendrive I-O DATA Easy Disk LIGHT 512 MB is workink fine with XP pro and XP home.
If I put it in mepis (before starting the PC) apears the Icon Hard Disc (sda1)[Im... on the desctop and in the Info Center.
If I copie a e-mail or an imagen drag and drop comes: Access denight.
Coud not write to/mnt/flash/”name”.part
(name=name of the e-mail)
or: Error-Kio_devices_mounthelper
X mount:/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device.
Please check that the disk is entered correctly(It is)
What is wrong? What have I to do?
I need to moove datos from each OS to the other and olthoug to an other PC.
I’m working a couple of jears with Windows and now I’m making my first steps with Mepis.
Thank you very much for any help in advance.
Hubert Coeler.

Dear James. Thank you very much for your help, but I'm sorry to say, I don't understand everything very well yet.
Were is my /etc/group file ? And the usb script?
if your user name is next to the usb script or whatever you might think pertains to the usb devices.
/etc/fstab? to be sure?
In XP I never had to do anything with Permissions and I was never working with the console, but I am very interested to learn it and would bee very glad if you have some more patience with me.
Thank you!!!
/etc/group file ?

You can use the File Manager Superuser Mode to edit fstab if you have to, have to be root to change system files . Or the system will tell you to take a hike.
Open the file manager SUMode and the directory tree should be opened by Konqueror. (Somebody called me on leaving the or off konqueror one time so make a note its there!)
You should see boot bin dev etc directorys in tree view. Both files are at bottom and are just text files . The refrence to the konsole was just for adding permissions.

Hello Hubert from the error message it might be a permission problem . Have a look at your /etc/group file to see if your user name is next to the usb script or whatever you might think pertains to the usb devices . I dont remember off hand what it is, im using 6.0 rc3 now . The easiest way for me to add permissions to a device is in a konsole as root with adduser (your user name) (x-group) then log out and back in or reboot. Without the brackets a course.
Its seeing it since the icon comes up i reckon. But you might have at /etc/fstab to be sure. Allso do a search on Mepis.org i Vaugely remember some posts about that.
