USB Flash drive not detected

[tycopolis]

Hi all... I'm using knoppix 4.0. I inserted a usb flash drive and then booted the pc. Everything came up fine, but knoppix did not detect the usb flash drive. The flash drive can hold 1gig of data. I also have another flash drive that can hold 256mb of data. Neither one was detected by knoppix 4.0.

The PC is an HP Pavillion a556x. It says it uses high speed usb 2.0 and Firewire ports.

How do I get my regular usb flash drives to work?

thanks...

If you are running knoppix in live mode try to put in the usb key once kde is loaded, a usb icon should appear automatically on the desktop. If you have an hdinstall try to put this entry in fstab:
/dev/uba1 /pen vfat noauto,users,exec,noatime,umask=000 0 0 -->kernel 2.6
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,noatime,umask=000 0 0 -->kernel 2.4
