Thanks for all the response this is a really supportive forum!

Even though this is a rather inexpensive flash drive I don't really want to risk trashing it.
As I mentioned above it mounts in suse without doing anything.
I do 90% of my work in knoppix and the other 10% falls to slackware & suse
plus I can access those other partitions in knoppix so that's how I'll leave it for now.

Thanks again
