Mounting a USB memory stick ...

[pfc]

Hello

This question has probably been answered somewhere but I can't for the life of me find a thread about it ... 

If I plug a USB memory stick in whilst my OneT is running 3MX-Ultra, should it auto mount or do I have to reboot for it to be recognised, please?  Mine doesn't auto-mount and I am wondering if I am asking for something that Ultra does not do.

Thanks

Regards

Hello,

I have no problems automounting both a 4gb and 8gb USB stick on 3MXUltra2.
I think you should still unmount manually from the Menu though.
You should make sure they are formatted to FAT 16 or FAT 32.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Hi Hugh

Thanks for the reply ...

I sometimes use my OneT as an MP3 player and have found that, unless I have inserted the USB stick (2 GB) at boot-up, when I go searching for it, or even if I click on the USB icon on the desktop, it cannot be found.

I am running 3MX Ultra version 1 (I loaded it back in December 2009).  Has Ultra 2 fixed this as a known problem or is there something odd about my set-up I wonder?

I definitely remember auto mounting works with Default OS, and to show what a clever dick I am I've just automounted a 4 and an 8gb stick both together in 3MXUltra2.
So you you not be having any troubles in 3MXUltra1.

Maybe someone with better knowledge will come along with some ideas.

Hi Hugh

Thanks for the reply ...

Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe what I have been doing before - usually chatting on Messaging - interferes with the auto-mounting.  I will try booting the box, and then plugging the USB stick in before I run anything else and see if that works.

Hi again ...

Yes, you are quite right ... it does mount the USB stick quite seamlessly.  I can only assume that, on the occasions it didn't work for me, something I had been doing beforehand had prevented auto-mounting .

Sorry for starting this thread unnecessarily ...  .  I should have known better than to doubt 3MX ... 

Thanks again for the info, Hugh.

No problem, I've only had my netbook a couple of weeks and already had to re-install (luckily I learnt how to do a working backup image before I managed to screw it up)

Cheers
