Hi enouf,

Knoppix 4.0.2

Tks for your advice.

I got it now. After plugin the USB Flash Drive. Knoppix detected it automaticallly. I just mounted it on the desktop with right-click --> mount. One drawback was I could not save file on it, copying files from it being possible.

However if mounting the USB Flash Drive on console as root I can save data on it while working on the console. I could not save files on it with drag and drop on starting Home.

$ sudo cat /etc/fstab
Code:

Do you already have Data on the USB key ??
It is a brand new device having some files on it for testing only.

Do you want to save / use / keep that data ?
Not on test run.

Is there any way to add password on the device? Whenever any user try to mount it, password is required.

I have Avixe Platinum Drive. On viisiting its company website I found manual adding password for MSWindows. I can't find the same for Linux.

Any advice. TIA
