I have an external drive that connects to my USB hole and I am transferring all my music and school work Microsoft Word files to my Kanotix box. How would I go about correctly transferring these files to my primary HD that Kanotix is on? |

Have you installed Kanotix? Does it recognise the attached drive? If so, just copy across.

Thanks for the advice drb.
I will do just that because last time I had trouble copying over some school text files from a USB memory stick.
Kanotix will automatically detect the external HD, right? |

It should do. Check the forum for specific problems.

It doesn't detect it. I think I have to mount it manually. Where do I mount it from? |

There isn't coming an icon on the desktop? If there is an icon you could doubleclick on it. And it should open konquerer with the contains of the external HDD. |

...and if no icon appears, create a mountpoint for it first.
fist check with fdisk -l (small L) in konsole as root what the dvicename is, it could be /dev/sda. in that case do:
Code:
mkdir /media/sda
as root in konsole.
if sda is occupied already by usb device or sata disk, create sdb....
after the mountpoint is there, mount it with:
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/sda
and you can use it in konqueror or whereever you like.
