USB not recognized

[color=darkblue]Thank you, but you are way over my head. I think I'll let the USB thing rest for awhile.

While I do not have a USB drive to experiment with I can say that solid state drives do work with Linux. Knoppix on the other hand I do not know. I'm willing to give it a shot if you are.

You can see if it's seen by Knoppix like this:

Open a terminal (shell)->the little monitor icon w/ a shell on it located on the taskbar.

type this:

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

Pretty self explainatory yes?

lsmod

That shows what modules are loaded- post the output please.

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Post that as well.
