Suggestions=3F Thumb drive is 1GB drive partitioned to FAT16 & HPFS. I checked the part= ition signatures w/ DFSee and they look correct. Or at least they don't have any text that relates to Windows or= MS. DFSee seems to think it is ok, as far as I can tell anyway. I went ahead and rewrote the MBR & updated the= LVM entries while in DFSee. The drive works fine on my desktop. And it works fine on the T61 when bo= oted to XP, ie: it sees FAT partition & 'unformatted' partition - the HPFS partition. When booted to eCS rc6a, if I plug the drive in sometimes I get the popup= that the drives are attached, sometimes not. Either way, if I leave the machine alone for at least an hour the t= humbdrive access light is still flashing - very slowly. I presume it is reading sectors. I know that I should pr= obably wipe it and reformat it but if I'm going to do that I should probably do it on the T61 and I don't think= I will ever be able to access it long enough to get that job done. If I try to start LVM, it hangs. If I start LVM first, then insert the drive it just sits there flashing a= nd LVM doesn't update, or it doesn't update in a reasonable time - I've never waited more than several minutes= . My config.sys has BASEDEV=3DUSBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0 The usb drivers are v10.162 and usbmsd is also v10.162 which I believe ar= e the latest drivers. I *cannot* recall if I have used this drive while booted to eCS on the T6= 1 or not but *I think* I have. I don't use theat thumbdrive all that often so I can't be sure. Thanks, jon
